  • Wow, just wow!! I love this over the Dinah Washington one, she sounds like she really feels it! Love love lover it!!! x

  • what a woman!  the white people hospital would'nt take her and it is so stupid. i hope 2011 won't be like that for anybody, regardless of their money, or color, or age.

  • The lyrics are badass.

  • Really great early sound fo the Blues and "comedic Jazz" back up. Love it!

  • love the 'sizzle' at the end from the crackly grooves :o)

  • There’s something truly beautiful about the depth of the lyrics and the emotion Bessie Smith brings to them. She was always fantastic at finding the pain and vulnerability in a song.

  • this is wounderful

  • @ebonics4everyone lol..pick up a book?? ... ty for the advice ... but my advice to you is took pick up the thread!! ..

    i.e see what remark I was responding to :p

  • Sorry ebonics4everyone, I made a fairly uncontentious remark about the song. I wasn't making any big claims. I wasn't trying to knock anyone off their perch - but you feel the urge to contradict me. You are of course welcome to do this but I can't understand the point you are trying to make.
