Wow, I was impressed to find that the number 3 top recording of music in 1923 was a black woman from Tennessee and im excited to learn about Bessie Smith now, what a wonderful song and a trip back in time
100 years old and still powerful today.
Amazing legend. People who listen to this are awesome
Incredible! Incredible voice!
Why, thank you😊
🤗💫🤗
Omg! My GRANDMA used to sing this (just around the house!!)
I'll take it; I'll take all the praise there can be.
This song was recorded 100 years ago!
Bessie is new to me today. I am 40 and white. And I love her music and voice. ❤
That was Bessie Smith singing her first song for Columbia Records. (1923-1931)
Bessie Smith and Georgia White - the originals.
Gee, but it's hard to love someone
When that someone don't love you
I'm so disgusted, heartbroken, too
I've got those down-hearted blues
Once I was crazy 'bout a man
He mistreated me all the time
The next man I get has got
To promise to be mine, all mine
Trouble, trouble, I've had it all my days
Trouble, trouble, I've had it all my days
It seems that trouble's going to follow me to my grave
I ain't never loved but three men in my life
I ain't never loved but three men in my life
My Father, my brother and the man that wrecked my life
It may be a week, it may be a month or two
It may be a week, it may be a month or two
But the day you quit me honey, it's coming home to you
I got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand
I got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand
I'm going to hold it until you didn't come under my command
thabk you for this 🙂
thank you❤❤❤
Perfect
With Bessie Smith , the blues became a major force in American popular music . On her first test in the studio , in 1922 , she was rejected as too coarse - supposedly because she broke off a take to say , " I gotta spit . " Her first release , " Down Hearted Blues , " recorded in February 1923 , was one of the biggest - selling records of the year , and despite the usually short - lived tastes of the record - buying public , she continued to be one of the major recording artists of the 1920s . She had learned some of her style from Ma Rainey , when she toured with her as a 20 - year - old with The Rabbit's Foot Minstrels , but when she began her recording career , she was in her late 20s and had matured , gaining a range of phrasing and expression that went beyond any of the other classic blues performers . Within a year , she was outselling every other blues artist . the early 1930s , despite the wear on her voice from overuse and too much alcohol , she did a last session - produced by John Hammond - with Benny Goodman and Jack Teagarden . Her career was richly productive , and some of her brooding presence was captured in the short film St. Louis Blues , where , after a raffish plot encumbered with most of the period's racial stereotypes , she is shown performing the song in a bar with the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra accompanying her and the Hall - Johnson choir joining in from the tables around her . It is an unforgettable glimpse of one of popular music's most significant performers . " Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out " is one of her classic songs , done in the late 1920s when her voice had darkened , and it opens with an eloquent statement of the verse by cornetist Ed Allen , who was working with the Williams studio groups at this time . Her recording has been imitated by hundreds of other singers , but no one has caught the introspection and brooding power of Bessie's performance .
This is why I love the comment section on UA-cam. My hat of for you Sir.
Thank you so much, just the information I was looking for my music assignment :)
🤗💛🤗 Great info
Que buena biografía, digna de un documental
I love you Bessie. Mexico no te conoce, pero pronto serás vuelta a recordar. Que Dios nos escuche
She had such a talent for putting all her raw emotion into her singing 💙

She's so real
Her voice is so calming 🙂
Bessie Smith was a friend of mine 😃
really? that's amazing!
I don't listen much to the music we have today, but I do think I will with these
It's so great to find this music here and listen to this amazing and very well recorded part of blues history.
Love, love, love Bessie! I also want that dress.
😁💕
Such a powerful but so beautiful voice!! Much talent even back those many years ago, it's still great!!❤
This song is now in the public domain!
What a lovely voice
It’s the crackle of the mic 🎤 😂❤
Almost 100 years!
the best
Gee, but it's hard to love someone when that someone don't love you!
I'm so disgusted, heart-broken, too; I've got those down-hearted blues;
Once I was crazy 'bout a man; he mistreated me all the time
The next man I get has got to promise me to be mine, all mine!
Trouble, trouble, I've had it all my days
Trouble, trouble, I've had it all my days;
It seems like trouble going to follow me to my grave
I ain't never loved but three men in my life;
I ain't never loved but three men in my life:
My father, my brother, the man that wrecked my life
It may be a week, it may be a month or two
It may be a week, it may be a month or two
But the day you quit me, honey, it's comin' home to you
I got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand
I got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand
I'm gonna hold it until you meet some of my demands
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLY AND ENDLESSLY EASY AND IN ABSOLUTELY NO WAY "hard"
1.5 speed>>>
My late friend Jerry told me he sat on her lap when he was little.

Muy buena!!!!
And their alot of them, thank God! 👍
That's good stuff....
Voz conmovedora....prescindía del micrófono...volumen y coloratura impresionantes...!!!!...imaginen con las calidades de grabación actual...
Pick up a copy of Nat Hentoff's 'Hear me talking' to you' - an amazing compendium of first-person insights and comments into the founders of blues and jazz - and hear what they say about Bessie. They confirm her as The Matriarch of the blues.
Si estoy aquí por Kevin kaarl...

I think its a standard 16 bar blues at first, in C ( piano key) for intro
The rest is a standard 12 bar progression
That would be cool!!!💯💫💯
