Bessie: Revised and Expanded Edition
Chris Albertson
This book—a revised and expanded edition of the definitive biography of Bessie Smith, known as the “Empress of the Blues?—debunks many of the myths that circulated after her untimely death in 1937. For this new edition, Chris Albertson provides more details of Bessie?s early years, new interview material, and a chapter devoted to events and responses that followed the original publication.
