Performer: Bessie Smith
Distributor: Gotham Distributing Corp. Notes: While not definitive or as comprehensive an introduction as Columbia's 16-track The Collection, Sings the Blues is still a solid single-disc entry into the music of Bessie Smith, with classic performances including "Dying Gambler's Blues," "Nashville Women's Blues" and "The Yellow Dog Blues." ~ Jason Ankeny
The original tough-mama prototype for nearly every female blues singer to come, hard-living, big-voiced Bessie Smith was also the first blues singer with a mega-hit recording career, achieved in part via collaborations with some of the most notable musicians of her era. In her prime in the 1920s and 1930s, she was the highest-paid black entertainer in the U.S., and her influence persists to this day.
