Very Best Of
Bessie Smith
Bessie Smith dominated what has become known as 'classic
blues'. Living every day as though it were her last was hardly
conducive to a long life, but it gave the singer experience of
suffering which she brought out in her singing. Not that Bessie
was lacking in humour; the recordings of more comic material
are every bit as red blooded as her articulation of disillusionment
and hurt.
