Sarah Streeter was born in Mississippi and raised in Chicago, Illinois, from early childhood, where she sang

at the Morgan's Lounge Club, and in the 1970s she played with
musicians such as Magic
Slim, Buddy Guy, The Aces,
Junior Wells,
Johnny Bernard, and Erwin Helfer.[1][2]
Her experience playing with Sunnyland Slim led to her first solo

From 1989 she performed with a group called The Big Time
