abstract
  • %22Ain't Nobody's Business%22 (originally %22Tain't Nobody's Biz-ness if I Do%22) is a 1920s blues song that became one of the first blues standards. It was published in 1922 by Porter Grainger and Everett Robbins. The song features a lyrical theme of freedom of choice and a vaudeville jazz-style musical arrangement. As %22'Tain't Nobody's Biz-ness if I Do%22, it was first recorded in 1922 by Anna Meyers with the Original Memphis Five.Recordings by other classic female blues singers, including Sara Martin, Alberta Hunter, and Bessie Smith soon followed. In 1947, the song was revived by jump blues singer Jimmy Witherspoon as %22Ain't Nobody's Business%22. It became the biggest selling race record of 1949 and inspired numerous adaptations of the song. In 2011, Witherspoon's rendition was inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame as a %22Classic of Blues Recording%22.
