Bessie Smith Biografia

200px|right|thumb|Bessie Smith ritratta da Van Vechten]Bessie Smith (Chattanooga, Texas, 15 aprile 1894 ? Clarksdale, Mississippi, 26 settembre 1937) cantante statunitense, viene considerata la più popolare e talentuosa cantante blues degli anni 1920 e 1930. La sua voce influenzò ampiamente tutta la musica americana successiva, e anche artisti del calibro di Billie Holiday, Mahalia Jackson, Janis Joplin e Norah Jones si sono lasciati ispirare da Bessie Smith.Morì nel 1937 per le conseguenze di un incidente automobilistico. Numerose le leggende legate alla sua morte. Secondo voci non confermate, infatti, la cantante sarebbe morta dissanguata dopo essere stata rifiutata da tre ospedali in quanto nera. Secondo quanto invece ricostruito dal biografo Chris Albertson nel suo libro Bessie del 1972, l'ambulanza portò Bessie Smith dal luogo dell'incidente direttamente all'ospedale per neri di Clarksdale, dove si presero immediatamente cura di lei. Ciononostante, non riprese più conoscenza
