Marie Adams (Ollie Marie Givens, 19 October, 1925, Linden, Texas - 23 February, 1998, Houston, Texas) was an American rhythm & blues singer. Known affectionately as TV Mama (the one with the big wide screen), by her colleagues in the Johnny Otis band, singer Marie Adams never aspired to sing professionally. She had to be coaxed by her husband to audition for Houston entrepreneur Don Robey at his record shop. Robey put a copy of Dinah Washington's "Harbor Lights" on the turn- table. <a href="htt
