Bessie Smith
Bessie Smith - Book - by Jackie Kay
(2021)
Bessie
Smith was born in Tennessee in 1894. Orphaned by the age of nine, she
sang on street corners before becoming a big name in travelling shows.
In 1923 she made her first recording for a new start-up called Columbia
Records.
It
sold 780,000 copies and made her a star. Smith's life was notoriously
difficult: she drank pints of 'bathtub gin', got into violent fist
fights, spent huge sums of money and had passionate love affairs with
men and women. She once single-handedly fought off a cohort of the Ku
Klux Klan.
