  • wonderfull!

  • Yeah that Bessie, she could sure belt em out couldn't she!?

  • Lol she was singing about "humps" and "lumps" nearly 80 years before the Black Eyed Peas. Sex in music is nothing new all hail the Empress x

  • :D My humps, my humps pfffft Bessie was wayyyyy more naughty than Fergie! :) Yer right about that!

  • gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer what was it from? please help! it's on the tip og my tounge

  • Lol, I am so sorry I don't know. I got this song from a boxed set of Bessie I got for my birthday 6 years ago. Bessie did sing it. But don't despair, you have tossed your question out there and someone watching this video will hopefully be able to answer it. Are you asking if it was in a movie? Or what album it was from? The YouTube community will surely come up with an answer for ya! Peace.

  • Try spotify, you just download it and it's 100% free. No downloads, no virus you just listen to free music. There is loads of Bessie Smith on there, it's great! I'm not sure if that song is on there but they're adding tunes to spotify all the time. It's worth a try xx
