☞ LISTEN: Bessie Smith
The "Empress of Blues" appeared in one movie (more of a music video, really) called "St. Louis Blues" in 1929. Yes, her no-good man left her, and she's gone out for a drink and a song. Love the waiters with the spinning trays at about 4:15 on the loop. For more on Bessie Smith, see this previous post.
