According to Harlem Renaissance Lives (edited by Henry Louis Gates and Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham), Davenport and Carr met in 1922[1] and toured the Theater Owners Booking Association as "Davenport and Company".[2][3] Eight songs were released by Vocalion Records in the vaudevillian duet style. The band broke up when Carr left Davenport for another man, whom she later married.
