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.

  • @JerryTKangaroo Apparently, you don't understand sarkasm. Young women always looked and look good. Age spares no one. The calendar is the women's worst enemy! Females still are more pleasing sans ink and metallic objects interfering with view.

  • @diasirea First of all it's pretty lame that you assume because a woman knows how to use, and isn't ashamed of, her sexuality she's a skank. Secondly, it's spelled skank.

  • @HotSauce147 Girls today with good glutes look like those girls did from 90 years ago and in 90 years todays girls won't look good either. "Green is nature's first gold" Only saving grace, those old time scanks weren't pierced and inked like today's scanks.

  • That is your great grandmother.

  • @oker59, a sexy picture with a sexy voice is very, very appropiate. Please stop making inappropiate and annoying comments!

  • Goodness, what pray tell is "inappropriate" about this picture? Bessie by definition was scandalous. It was the times I know, and it seems innocuous now, but it's true. Don't believe me? Find and listen to "19 men" by the GREAT Bessie Smith!

  • Bessie Smith was THE best voice. But to hear the second best, check out Billie Poole.. ( and she was beautiful too )

  • @gagamonster99 but it took 14 years for god to realize :D
