Bessie was in an unmarked grave. Janice Joplin bought her a head stone
thank you Janis.
Disappointed Janis had to do it, but Im glad she did
Respect
❤
What about Queen Latifah
Bessie is the Queen. When she sings Nobody Knows You When Your Down And Out I cry every time. Just a powerhouse of a voice
This piece of music must be mind blowing in the early 1900s.
still is
It's mind blowing in 2024
I now see why Billie Holiday was so obsessed with this song. This woman can sing!! and the way she phrases the words is everything!!
opd
ops
Without Bessie Smith there would be no blues of today, no R&B, and no Rock'N'Roll. I love her music, voice, and the way she sang the words. B.B. King did some of this also putting his own touch and it is all good. Bessie was a master and probably never knew it. We all love you Bessie, be seeing ya one day and hope to have the honor of singing with you, RIP sweet angel❣️🙏🕯️🎆😇 You are amazing ❣️😁🥰💖🌹☮️🇺🇲🤗🦋🎤🎶🎹
first sentence = pure nonsense
@@coraltown1 's comment = pure nonsense.
@@coraltown1without people like her @sunshinebannister is right we wouldn’t have the modern day country, blues, R&B, soul hell everything we would still be stuck in a stone age
First heard this in Diana Ross' portrayal of Billie Holiday in the movie Lady Sings The Blues. A great piece of singing, touches my heart its soulful even from way back then.
Happy Heavenly Birthday Ms Bessie , you still got an avid audience . Bravo

Released in June, 1923. One of the finest Blues songs, ever recorded.
Everything she sang is legendary. What a great singer!
❤
Finest blues singer of her and all subsequent generations. Tone perfect backed either by a jazz band or a single musician she excelled
A great jazz/blues pioneer, unknown by many today unfortunately, but along with Ethel Waters and Billie Holiday
made her mark for generations and influenced so many who followed.
. . . & "Ma Rainey" !!!
True talent
This kind of music is masterpiece
The Queen of Blues!
One of them💯❣️
Beautiful. Was looking for the song that inspired Billie. God bless. My life song from a different time....🙏❤🙏
I could listen to music like this all day.🖤
This song is a banger
do what you feel as a woman this song represents just that."ain't nobody's business if I do"!! and that's exactly right!!
I remember Queen Latifa sang this song on Living Single, the episode when Kyle was trying to save the jazz club
So crazy then she ended up playing Bessie Smith in the movie!
I was actually thinking about this as I listen to the song WHAT A COINCIDENCE
FLAWLESS!
The 20s be the 🐝 knee!!!!
Canciónsota buenísima !!! Bessie the best!
HBD to THIS QUEEN
💋💋💋🎂🎂🎂❤❤❤
There are some slight changes in this version...the one I originally heard said "..if my MAN ain't got no money, and I say take all mine honey..', here it's changed to "friend" & the last verse, more severe, said, "..if I'm beat up by my Poppa, I ain't gonna call no coppa...", .which they got pretty close to with the lyrics in this version, rather have him hit me than quit me...
.wow.
I love you Bessie Smith.
You're why we call it the blues.
Jazz is improvisation. The great artists start each performance with a clean slate!
Beautiful.
THE BEST EVER
"The blues is a chair. You can sit on that music. It will hold you up." ~John Lennon
Wonderful!!
I love Bessie!
2020!
My favorite......she was brilliant!!!!!
History
"I swear I won't call no copper, if I'm beat up by my poppa
'tain't nobody business if I do" 😿 lines go hard when you're living it
The best there ever was. Period. Ma Rainey and Billie Holliday are next.
I love the Blues, so you know I gotta trace the roots of it
When you understand you understand 2023 still listening ❤️💯
Blew my mind searching this I didn’t know this was Bessie Smith ❤
Watch Lady Sings the Blues with Diana Ross. At beginning Billie (Diana) is playing this and singing along in a higher key.
@@ProceedWithCaution0916 yes that’s where I first heard the song watch that movie
Belleza Belleza Belleza , y Belleza
Every day.....
Janis Joplin bought Bessie a grave stone for her unmarked grave.
RIP LADIES
Still true to this day
Tain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do
- 1922
There ain't nothing I can do, or nothing I can say
That folks don't criticize me
But I'm goin' to do just as I want to anyway
And don't care if they all despise me
If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean
'Tain't nobody's business if I do, do, do do
If I go to church on Sunday
Sing the shimmy down on Monday
Ain't nobody's business if I do, if I do
If my friend ain't got no money
And I say "Take all mine, honey"
'Tain't nobody's business if I do, do, do do
If I give him my last nickel
And it leaves me in a pickle
'Tain't nobody's business if I do, if I do
There are a lot of men, that would hit me
Since I've arrived up and quit me
'Tain't nobody's business if I do, do, do do
I swear I won't call no copper
If I'm beat up by my poppa
'Tain't nobody's business if I do, if I do
Well, almost...
GENIAL! 🙏🙏🙏
Bessie... diosa y reina que inspiró a Billie Holliday, a Janis Joplin... este tema, en otra versión también tuya... escuchado en una película me hizo descubrirte y tocaste mi corazón... hay voces, hay interpretaciones que logran eso, aunque no entendamos lo que dicen--- GRACIAS a quién subió este material ♥
Janis paid for PART of her headstone.
💯❣️
And according to legend, her spirit came back to us again in the body of Janis Joplin.
The Good die young!
Wow and here I thought Billie Holliday was the original singer to this song. I have a newfound respect now
In the movie lady sings the blues young Billie is listening to the Bessie Smith record and this song is playing.
No this was Bess song....Billie Jazed it up...
Billie Holliday and Mahalia Jackson are Bessie Smith’s two best known musical daughters. Billie took Bessie’s style, smoothed it out and made it more tailored to jazz clubs and bistros of the 1930s and 40s and Mahalia “sanctified” Bessie’s vocal power and tone and soulful way of bending notes, and took it into the church. But they kept Bessie’s legacy going.
She had a great voice. This is one of the best versions of the song (my favorite is by Frank Stokes).
👑
yk what? imma sample this. coming out in a couple years tho.
very nice song btw
❤

Much better than Taj Mahal but this gives roots to many "current" artists.
Anyone from music class?
prayers so beautiful ops

'Tain't Nobody's Bizness If I Do, a nadie le importa lo que haga.
rieiwowoowiw
this is what these young black woman artists need to be listening to and how hard it was to for them back then consider how easy they have it today
What you need to do is tell your racist white police officers to stop killing unarmed black people.
Uhh... Thanks Karen. What do you think you can do to help matters?
Careful Karen, your privilege is showing...
Yeah, and then they can listen to Lucille Bogan for some real down-home fam’ly values, right, Karen?
What do YOU know about being black today? It's funny. White women like you were saying things like this to black women in her time, as well. Racism didn't exist to them either. You're clearly all the same no matter what era you're in.
