Bessie Smith (April 15, 1894 -- September 26, 1937) was an American blues singer.
Sometimes referred to as The Empress of the Blues, Smith was the most popular female blues singer of the 1920s and 1930s. She is often regarded as one of the greatest singers of her era and, along with Louis Armstrong, a major influence on subsequent jazz vocalists.
@warholsoup100, thank you very much for uploading all these gems! I love the picture too! I think it is very appropriate, very “atmospheric”… You and RagTimeDorianHenry not only make me appreciate even more this fantastic music (blues), but show me there are very generous people out there, that take their time to share what they have with strangers. Thanks again!
