Here's another from my old collection.
It is the 1927 recording of Bessie's tribute to her trombone player Charlie Green. Also on this recording are:- Joe Smith; tpt. and Fletcher Henderson; pno.
There are other recordings of this number by Bessie, but I like this one best! So, I thought it would be a nice contrast to the trombone on my last posting (Santo Pecora)

This song was written by Bessie Smith for my great uncle, Charles Green. He wasn't from "way down south". He was born in Omaha, Nebraska. My grandmother is his older sister. He died of tuberculosis in New York on November 27, 1935. My mother is his closest living relative. Thank you for posting this song.

Recorded 1927 (See my notes on the right) and taken from a 331/3 L.P. -but cleaned up a little using 'Audacity' software.

Small point - Fletcher Henderson died 1952.
Love the music! I must find my Bessie Smith LP.

You're right of course. The typo due, no doubt, to advancing senility !
