Emma Kelly

Emma Thompson Kelly (December 17, 1918 – January 17, 2001) was an American musician.

Known as the "Lady of 6,000 Songs",[1] she appeared in both John Berendt's 1994 book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil and its 1997 movie adaptation.

[1] With Joe Odom, Kelly was a co-owner of the short-lived Emma's piano bar in an old cotton warehouse on Savannah's River Street.

The bar was forced to close after Odom squandered its earnings.

"[3] As of 1994, she was performing weekly sittings at Hard-Hearted Hannah's East, above the Pirates' House in Savannah, Georgia.
