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.

Where's the pic originally from? They didn't have nudie mags in the 20s/30s did they? At least not in the US.

What a clean recording. Imagine how primitive the equipment was, and how sophisticated all the digital shit is today. The primitive shit sounds best. Check out the Ray Charles Live recording from the '50's. Full band - only one microphone.
