you're kidding! Moving pictures date back to the mid to late 1800s. Silent films continued until 1929 when 'talking pictures' took over. The blues have been around a few hundred years. Look into the history - its very interesting

This music really does something to me. I don't feel rap or hip hop much. It just doesn't speak to me the way this music does. And Bessie Smith had such a tremendous voice... No one could EVER doubt a word that she sings. A person just knows it's from the heart and soul. It's raw and it's passionate. Powerful singing and music.

that's been proven to be untrue in recent years. Interesting how the lie keeps going though. it's been a rumor for a heck of long time.

I was enthralled from the first seconds of this. Then the Hollywood shit started and I couldn't bear it. So: two minutes or so of legendary film footage. I think Bessie Smith had the most lost potential of any figure in American popular music history.
