Read the text below then answer the questions:
Bessie Smith was the “Empress of the Blues.” But long before she earned that title, she and her brother
Andrew performed on the streets of Chattanooga, Tennessee. They came from an impoverished family, so they
needed to earn money for their household. He danced, and she sang. The two often performed in front of the
White Elephant Saloon, a tavern in the city’s African–American community. In 1912, Bessie Smith met
Gertrude “Ma” Rainey (known as the “Mother of the Blues.") Smith joined Ma’s vaudeville act and became a
popular Blues singer. In the 1920s, Bessie Smith starred in the Broadway musical How Come? In 1923, she
made her first record, “Gulf Coast Blues” and “Down Hearted Blues.” It sold 800,000 copies. She made records
with some of the most famous Jazz musicians of that era, including James P. Johnson, Coleman Hawkins, and
Louis Armstrong. One of her most famous recordings was “St. Louis Blues,” recorded in 1929 with Louis
Armstrong. She was the highest paid black singer of that time. She made 160 records. But the Depression in the
1930s was not good for her career. Columbia Records dropped her in the 1930s. She died in 1937. Today Bessie
Smith is still remembered as the “Empress of the Blues.” Bessie Smith was admitted into the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame in 1989.
