 According to a researcher named: Dan Williams:

The second woman singer was Willie B. Harris, who claimed she was the 
vocalist on two of Johnson's sessions.

She is said to have joined Him on a Dec. 5, 1928 and recorded "Jesus is 
Coming Soon".


Can't find anything else about Willie B. Harris.  Perhaps if you could find 
the writings of this guy Dan Williams, there might be more information 
available on her.
