Wilhelmina Madison Goodson (June 8, 1907 – September 29, 1974), known professionally as Billie Pierce, was an American jazz pianist and singer, who performed and recorded with her husband De De Pierce.[1] Her style has been described as a "potent mixture of barrelhouse, boogie-woogie, and ragtime".[2] After settling in New Orleans in 1930, she played in the bands of A.J. Piron, Alphonse Picou, Emile Barnes, and George Lewis.[1]
