(Reposición)
La pianista y cantante estadounidense Norah Jones canta en este vídeo de YouTube "Bessie Smith", uno de sus temas de éxito. Norah Jones hace una música muy grata de escuchar, que es una sorprendente mezcla de estilos entre el jazz, el soul, el blues y el country.
-La grabación pertenece a un concierto en vivo en "The House of Blues", en New Orleans, la ciudad sureña donde se dice que nació el jazz.

Bessie Smith fue una famosa cantante de blues de los años 20 y 30, conocida como "la emperatriz del blues". Su muerte fue muy polémica, porque se decía que, tras un grave accidente de tráfico, fue llevada al hospital, donde hubo que amputarle un brazo, muriendo pocas horas después. Durante un tiempo circuló el rumor de que en el hospital más próximo no admitieron su ingreso por ser negra, aunque las autoriodades sanitarias negaron siempre que esta discriminación se produjese y afirmaron que la muerte sobrevino como consecuencia lógica del shock hemorrágico sufrido en el accidente.

Bessie was more than just a friend of mine
We shared the good times and the bad
Many years have since passed me by
I still recall the best thing I ever had
Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie
Oooh... to see her soon
I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith
When I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do
Now all the crazy things I had to try
Well I tried them all and then some
If you look you one day you will find out
Where it is that your really coming from
Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie
Oooh... to see her soon
I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith
When I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do
(Instrumental)
Now in my day I've made some foolish moves
But back then I didn't worry about a thing
Now and again I still wonder to myself
Was it the sweet love, or the way that she could sing
I'm just going down the road to see Bessie
Oooh... to see her soon
I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith
When I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do
