Bessie Smith



Bessie Smith was the first blues and jazz singer, and the most powerful. Her title, "The empress of Blues" was earned rightfully so. Her discography includes:

Bessie Smith
Bessie Smith/ Louis Armstrong/ Cab Calloway
Fats Waller & Bessie Smith
Please Help Me Get Him off My Mind
Thems Graveyard Works

She also appeared on a vast amount of compilations, and influenced decades of blues singers after her.
