    In the spirit of completion Bonnie also sang on some tracks Ike & co recorded for Sun the following year (1953)

    Here's three songs from an August session that year

    "Way Down In The Congo"
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukB2kcOjtkU

    "Old Brother Jack"
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JYMVe7h3Tw

    "Love Is A Gamble"
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFTbje43Bpk

    Was Bonnie his first wife or something?

    All appear on the 1976 Charly LP ""Roots Of Rock Vol. 3 : The Delta Rhythm Kings"

    There was another song from this session "Camping Down In Canaan's Land" that I don't see online

    Yes Marion Louis Lee (her real name) and Ike were married in September 1952.

    Apparently she was his third wife
