Video from the 1955 film "The Phenix City Story" synched with audio from the 45 RPM single "Phenix City Blues" released around the same time. The song was written by Harold Spina and performed by Meg Myles.

My father's biological mother, Glendora Brooks, was a nightclub singer in Phenix City in the '30s and '40s. I don't have any photos or stories of her so I put this video up as a tribute to her memory.

The following lyrics were used in the film but not in the actual single

A woman's body is made of flesh and bone
A woman's body is made of flesh and bone
Tie it together with a ball of twine
With a paper heart for a Valentine
A woman's mind, that's strictly all her own
