A vida de grande parte dessas cantoras foi tão trágica quanto o blues que entoavam: apesar dos momentos de glória e sucesso, muitas morreram esquecidas pelo grande público. O túmulo da classic singer ficou sem identificação até 1970 quando Janis Joplin e o produtor de Bessie, John Hammond, providenciaram uma lápide com os dizeres: “Bessie Smith, 1894-1937 — A maior cantora de blues do mundojamais deixará de cantar”. Até então a região mais importante do Blues era o delta do Mississipi. Ali surgiram bluesmen como Charley Patton, Son House, Tommy Johnson, Skip James, Big Joe Williams e Sonny Boy Williamson. Os anos 30 viram despontar um dos nomes mais idolatrados do blues: Robert Johnson. Influenciado sobretudo por Son House e Willie Brown, Johnson viveu pouco tempo, cerca de 27 anos, vitimado segundo a lenda por um whisky envenenado pelo marido de uma de suas amantes. Diz a lenda também que Johnson vendera a alma ao diabo em troca do sucesso. Gravou apenas 29 canções entre 1936 e 1937, muitas das quais se tornaram clássicos do gênero.

I gave my father's cornet to my cousin Kent."You have to work it like a truck. But everyone asks me, "what is that thing!""It has a sound, that nothing like it has."So, in response to 240252, my cousin Kent said, "It has that sound of a time, that is heard, but can not be created except but by just so."

The honking melody tunes of rock and roll music have a clearly defined ancestry in US jazz going back to Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith in the twenties. Bessie was ahead of hers time!!!!!!
