The band was led by her husband Bill Hegamin, and they toured the country with her. Lucille’s next record came out a few months after her first record and was “Arkansas Blues” and “I’ll Be Good But I’ll Be Lonesome“. “Arkansas Blues” was one of the most popular records of 1921. It was such a hit that Mamie Smith recorded a cover version of Hegamin’s hit that same year and the Mound City Blue Blowers would also have a hit with it in 1924. Hegamin continued to record and tour with the Blue Flame Syncopaters until 1922. Lucille and her husband divorced in 1923. She continued to be very popular throughout the rest of the 1920s.

Redhotjazz.com was a pioneering website during the "Information wants to be Free" era of the 1990s. In that spirit we are recovering the lost data from the now defunct site and sharing it with you.
Most of the music in the archive is in the form of MP3s hosted on Archive.org or the French servers of Jazz-on-line.com where this music is all in the public domain.
Files unavailable from those sources we host ourselves. They were made from original 78 RPM records in the hands of private collectors in the 1990s who contributed to the original redhotjazz.com. They were hosted as .ra files originally and we have converted them into the more modern MP3 format. They are of inferior quality to what is available commercially and are intended for reference purposes only. In some cases a Real Audio (.ra) file from Archive.org will download. Don't be scared! Those files will play in many music programs, but not Windows Media Player.
