Preachin’ the Blues-Bessie Smith 1927
When Mamie Smith recorded \Crazy Blues" in 1920, it changed the music industry. The completelyunexpected success of her recording, the first time that a black singer hadrecorded the blues, showed the labels that there was a major untapped marketfor record sales among African-Americans. In hopes of duplicating the sales of "Crazy Blues," record companies whohad previously neglected the black market rushed to record every black femalevocalist who could sing a blues, whether their background was in Southerntheatres or Northern vaudeville. While many vocalists were only documented during 1921-23 on two or fourtitles before being dropped and forgotten, such major talents as Ma Rainey,Alberta Hunter, Ethel Waters, Ida Cox and Trixie Smith became stars. But the biggest discovery of all wasBessie Smith.
She was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee on 15 April 1894 to avery poor family. Bessie's fatherpassed away while she was a child and her mother died when she was ten. Raised by an older sister, Bessie oftenraised money for the family by singing on street corners while her brotheraccompanied her on guitar. Thingschanged drastically in 1912 when she got a job with the Moses Stokes troupe asa dancer, a traveling show that featured Ma Rainey as its singer. Smith learned about show business fromRainey and within a short time she was singing herself. After gaining a decade of experienceperforming in shows and various companies throughout the South, Bessie Smithwas a major attraction, one whose renditions of blues were often consideredhypnotic.
On 16 February 1923, Bessie Smith made her recordingdebut. Her version of AlbertaHunter's "Down Hearted Blues" was a big hit and resulted in her recordingprolifically for the Columbia label throughout the 1920s. Although the blues craze began to fadeduring 1924-25, Smith's career gained in fame and prosperity. During the period covered by this set(1925-27), 'The Empress of the Blues' headed her own Harlem Frolics show, wasmaking as much as $2,000 a week (a huge sum in 1925) and was at the height ofher popularity.
Thirty-one at the time that she recorded I Ain't Got Nobody,Bessie Smith shows on this performance how she infused pop tunes with thefeeling of the blues. In herearliest recordings she was able to overcome the primitive recordingquality. By 1925 records soundedmore lifelike and, although altoist Bob Fuller's playing is not too inspiring,Smith's powerful singing easily overshadows that obstacle. He's Gone Blues teams the singer (who reallywails on the long notes) with her regular accompanist of the period, pianistFred Longshaw. This is one ofeight songs on this collection on which Smith wrote the lyrics. Nobody's Blues But Mine has a returnappearance by Fuller, whose alto playing seems to be trying to emulate SidneyBechet but with little success. Nomatter, Smith sounds quite passionate on this blues ballad.
Clarence Williams, a very prolific organizer of record dateswho was also a busy songwriter and publisher in the 1920s, was the pianist onSmith's first record dates. Heaccompanies the singer on a pair of his songs: New Gulf Coast Blues and FloridaBound. Although he was not a virtuoso,Williams always played very well with Smith, letting her take the lead while hefilled in the spaces with colorful breaks.
Cornetist Joe Smith and trombonist Charlie Green, bothmembers of the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra, were two of Smith's favoriteaccompanists. They inspired herwithout competing with her singing, uplifting each performance. At The Christmas Ball, Smith's onlyChristmas-related recording, is one of her happier performances. I've Been Mistreated And I Don't LikeIt is more optimistic than the title suggests, with Bessie planning on dumpingher no-account man as soon as possible. Although both Red Mountain Blues and Golden Rule Blues are obscure,Smith's intense singing makes them memorable, assisted by Fletcher Henderson(whose piano playing is heard here at its best) and Don Redman, who takes atune apiece on clarinet and alto.
Squeeze Me was Fats Waller's first composition, written withClarence Williams in 1918. Williams is on piano behind Bessie, who gives the song a treatment that would not be equaled until Mildred Bailey adopted it as one of her trademark songs in the 1930s.

Beautiful 💖👏💖
One of my favorite Blues singers! Her voice is so sweet and unique.

It sounds like an electric recording probably recorded after 1926/27.-
Yes, because the record is a reissue.
Fantastic swing band; great soloists. Top arrangements!
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
One of my favorite Bessie Smith songs ❤❤❤❤😊😊
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Una REINA.......!!!!!!!

Changes to soprano sax after the vocals...the best of both Sidney's: clarinettist and soprano sax player!
Good to know! I’m glad you liked it!
The greatest is so right ❤❤❤❤
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
100 anos

💖💕💖
Muito bom
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Can't help but Love her! ❤️
That is true. Glad you enjoyed it!
I thought I heard Louis Armstrong, checked the info and see he's accompanying her❤❤❤❤
It’s also, because he wrote it.
@@NippersLounge Oh, did he write that? That's awesome🌹🌹🌹🌹
@@mochawitch yes he did
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤
I have "Thunderstorm Blues"by her.That also has Louie on trumpet.
Cool!
Lol! Ethel Waters!❤
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Great music!! Interesting music history. Thanks for posting it!!
You’re welcome!
Back in the late 1960s I bought this recording on a second hand 45rpm disc, and played it to death.. This is King Oliver at his best.
Yes, he was great! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
❤
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Love her....she's in heaven with Jesus
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Looks like we have similar taste, and record hunting skills. Just posted these sides, with no notice as to your postings until just now. A great record, a great singer.
Thank you! Most of the records I have been collecting are artists like Ethel Waters.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!❤️
BESSIE❤❤❤❤❤
I have a number of her records uploaded to my channel! Make sure to check them out. ❤️
@@NippersLounge I will🥰🥰
A Very Remarkable Lady. I Remember Her When I Was In high school, I Seen Her On TV On Daniel Boone and Seen Her With Billy Graham, And Yea She Was Quite the Entertainer. There is Stories About Her and Jimmie Rodgers.
Yes she was Guss! Thank you for watching.
Fantastic video, thanks for posting! I cannot recommend the Alan Lomax Library of Congress recordings highly enough. Jelly Roll was nearly as brilliant a raconteur as a musician, and God knows that's saying something. Endlessly fascinating and important piece of history.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you!
Awesome
Great performance. I wonder if there is some way digitally to remove some of those clicks and pops. Unfortunately, that is one scratched up old record.
Unfortunately it is! There are versions of this record on TH-cam that have the noise filtered out. I don’t have the software to do that, plus my turntable doesn’t have USB.
Lovely song of the 20s
Thank you!
Nice
Thank you!😊
I hope you got your money back!!!
I did! Also helped the seller how to properly pack and ship 78 records.
*All that scratchin’s makin me itch*
Sorry, the record is a bit worn.
Grandioso nivel musical....!!!!
Thank you!
Have a feeling such music is lost in time. Bring it back!
That’s what I am trying to do!
A late friend of mine said years ago he used to see a lot of Lucille Hegamin's Cameo 78s.
This one is a Black Swan!
@@NippersLounge Taken from Arto masters.I have a Black Swan by her like this.
