Billed as "The Girl with the Million Dollar Smile", she was one of the classic female blues singers popular in the 1920s. BiographyShe was born Hester Bijou in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1893. Several members of her extended family were musicians; the drummer Paul Barbarin was her cousin. In 1913 she began touring in vaudeville with the performer and playwright Irvin C. Miller; they later married. In 1917 Bigeou appeared as a singer, dancer, and recitalist in the revue Broadway Rastus, written by Miller, at the Standard Theater in Philadelphia; the Lafayette Theater in New York City; and the Orpheum Theater in Baltimore, Maryland. She recorded for OKeh Records in 1921 and 1923 and toured the Theater Owners Booking Association vaudeville circuit with the Billy King Company in 1923. From 1923 to 1925 and from 1927 to 1930, she toured as a single act in the American South, Midwest, and Northeast. LegacyThe blues writer Chris Smith said that Bigeou was "a singer at the pop end of African-American entertainment" and that she "seems to have retired, aged only 35, to settle in New Orleans, where reports indicate that she died circa 1936".[4] She actually died on November 15,1934, at Charity Hospital in New Orleans of pulmonary congestion accompanied by marked emaciation and dehydration, as listed on her death certificate.
