Awesome!

Bessie Smith junto a nada menos que el gran Louis Armstrong. Este fue uno de los 9 blues que grabaron (incluyendo tomas alternativas). Inmortales ambos.

Unique

RIP beautiful angel. She deserved better than to be born in a racist time period where the Jim Crow laws were still enforced. She especially did not deserve to be treated the way she was after that tragic car accident that costed her life 💔Happily her voice continues with the angels 😥

Nice
