    Jodie Drake, a renowned Canadian blues and jazz singer, left an indelible mark on music. Beginning her journey in Detroit and later pioneering in Canada, she tirelessly championed Black music through the sheer force of her voice. Her performance in "Blues in my Bread," aired nationally on CBC, showcased her immense talent. Born in 1920s Detroit, Drake relocated to Toronto in 1960, eventually marrying Barry Penhale. In 1974, she co-hosted a CBC TV series called "Gene and Jodie" with Gene DiNovi, highlighting performances by prominent jazz artists of that era. Drake's impact extended beyond borders, as she holds the distinction of being the sole Canadian inducted into the New Orleans Jazz Hall of Fame.
