“Frankie and Johnny” is one of America’s most famous murder ballads. It’s been covered by hundreds of artists, including Leadbelly, Louis Armstrong, Mae West, Sam Cooke, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, and even Elvis.
The song is based on the murder of the African-American ragtime composer Allen Britt, who was killed by his girlfriend Frankie Baker (pictured) in 1899.Frankie was a beautiful, successful prostitute who wore diamond earrings “as big as hen’s eggs.” Britt was her lover and pimp.
The couple quarreled when Frankie discovered him with another woman. She begged him to come home with her, but he went to a party with his new girl, Alice Pryar, instead. Britt came home late that night when Frankie was in bed. According to Frankie, they argued and, when her lover came at her with a knife to “cut her,” she grabbed her pistol from under her pillow and shot him.
At her trial, the jury agreed with Frankie’s need to defend herself. The judge even gave her back her gun. But many in her neighborhood felt that there were other answers to the mystery of what happened that night in her apartment.Within days of the trial, a song called “Frankie Killed Albert” was composed by Bill Dooley. The song—which evolved into the popular ballad “Frankie and Johnny”—was enjoyed by just about everyone except Frankie.
She hated the way people sang it when she went by. She hated the lyrics that proclaimed she’d killed Allen because he’d cheated on her, rather than because she’d had to defend herself. Some say that the song hounded her out of St. Louis.
She eventually wound up in Oregon running a shoeshine parlor.Even then, the popularity of Frankie’s story haunted her. It was the basis for the 1933 blockbuster film She Done Him Wrong, which jump-started the careers of Mae West and Cary Grant. Frankie angrily sued Paramount Studios, but she lost. She sued Hollywood again over the 1936 film Frankie & Johnny, but she lost again. Frankie died in 1952 before she could sue over Elvis Presley’s film Frankie and Johnny in 1966.
Just got done watching ep 1.6 of "The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart" and wow that episode was so good and also scary!!! They've done such a great job with this and all the actors are giving great performances. We got more of the secrets revealed and a huge cliffhanger for the final episode next week. Posting the rest behind a cut for major book and show spoilers.
Everything with Alice realizing how Dylan really is was so hard to watch and I knew it was coming from the book. That was so scary and much more of it was shown than the scenes when she was young with Clem. Shows how sadly abuse survivors can still end up in relationships similar to what they experienced as a child or what their parents did. Then her still hiding from Twig when she showed up to find her and refusing to see her or go back, even though she should. Also great use of having Alice see Agnes during the ending of this episode and trying to figure out what to do.
Very happy we're getting more scenes of Twig too and her story as the book only lightly touched on it. It's been more fleshed out for the show and I teared up a few times hearing her talk about her missing kids that are adults out there somewhere. Then also how she ended up loving both Clem and Candy as her own children, and Alice as her granddaughter.
Then we got the big reveal about June's past and how much she went through. I can't imagine being forced to keep a pregnancy and raise that child after what happened and not even knowing who the baby's father was. Sadly it's starting to happen again here in the US since Roe v Wade got overturned. And then losing her first love Roberta because of it. It also shows why she treated her son the way she did and why she was afraid to keep Charlie as she was scared it was something inherited that turned Clem that way and Charlie might be too. Glad she has Candy and had Twig and explains so much of why she is the way she is.
Then this also shows why a lot of reviews of the book, including my own, say this does have you sympathize with Clem. It does not excuse what he did as a teenager and adult, but it shows the psychology of what a child that is a product of r*pe and then feels neglected by their mother can do. I don't blame June though and Twig was there to help, but really she should've gave Clem up for adoption. But at the same time a child being neglected like that does change their psychology and can be more influential to making them violent even without a possible inherited mental illness so you don't really know how he would've turned out if things were different.
It's just so tragic for everyone in this show but at the same time I know how the books ends and it's a story of overcoming and changing things. I won't spoil anymore but next week should be a great finale.

Hey guys, serious question... How would you feel if I quit tumblr, and started posting these exclusively on Medium. I am already posting them on Medium as well
“Is it too early for a drink?” he asks as he hands Frankie one of the two glasses in his hand. The answer is no. It’s never early. He doesn’t want to ask her if she shared with Miles; he already knows it’s a yes. Honestly, he’s not really looking to bring this up again, not after what he’s already told her in the kitchen yesterday and early yesterday. He’s said his piece, loud and clear, and what she does next with that is totally up to her. He does feel awful for his sister, though. “You brought up me and Phoebe last night before you left the kitchen.” Because they had too much company to discuss a topic like this, but Frankie’s the only one he trusts in this villa to talk about this. He misses Callie and Romi. “She’s made her interest in me pretty clear.” || @absolutesort
frankie’s grown to be a best friend to him in the villa and he cares for her just the same. he’s rooting for them so badly, but more than that, he wants the best for both of them, whatever that may be. / “you do not want to start a war with me right now, frankie. and that’s going to be mine now, thanks,” he says with a smile, reaching to steal her glass from her. he usually steals callie’s drinks, but since callie’s not here, frankie will have to deal with it happening to her instead. / “i think you’re a little delusional over here, frankie, I’m growing concerned.” his fingers go in her hair, messing it up the way he always does.
Ted: Ted Roswell, Mayor of Strangerville, and the, ah, benefactor of this lab. How can I help you?
Frankie: I don’t care who you are. Where’s my mom?
Ted: Ah. You must be Frankie. I spoke to your mother this morning. We agreed that she wasn’t the right fit for the position we have available, and I sent her on her way.
Frankie: Then where is she? She said in her note that she wanted to talk later. I’ve been calling and texting her all day, and she’s not answering.
Ted: Right… well, I’m afraid I don’t have an answer for you. I wish I could help you kid, but I haven’t seen her for hours. I might suggest making a stop at the 8 Bells… I’ve heard she’s been quite the frequent customer.
Frankie: Fuck you. You have no right to talk about her like that.
Ted: You’ve got some fire, Frankie. I dig it. Unfortunately, right now, there’s nothing else I can offer you. Our visiting hours did end at 3, so… I have to ask you to hit the road.
Frankie: Whatever. Thanks for nothing, jackass.
Ted: Best of luck! I sincerely hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Strangerville.
…
Ted: You told me this wouldn’t get messy, Sigworth.
