Lillian "Lil" Green (December 22, 1919 – April 14, 1954) was an influential American blues singer and songwriter active in the 1930s and 1940s, renowned for her seductively smooth vocal style and her ability to convey raw emotion in her performances. Born in Mississippi, Green moved to Chicago as part of the Great Migration, where she began singing in clubs and quickly garnered attention for her talent. The list of songs provided includes "Why Don't You Do Right?," which is one of her most famous recordings and has been covered by numerous artists over the years, securing her legacy in the annals of blues music.

The presence of modern-sounding tracks like "LIL WHO?" and "America, Please!" suggests there may be a contemporary artist also named Lil Green or a posthumous release of previously recorded material. If the latter is the case, it would signify a resurgence of interest in Lil Green's work and an effort to posthumously expand her discography. Her body of work, although limited due to her premature death at the age of 34, left an indelible mark on the blues genre and has influenced countless musicians, including those who helped popularize her music to new generations.
