Publisher Notes: Bessie
- 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.
