This is for 'rustythespian' as promised. Sorry about the quality and balance, but the audio track was taken from a cassette tape made, many years ago, from a BBC radio broadcast in the Humphrey Lyttleton series called "The best of jazz".The recording of Bessie was made in 1936 and (so Humph said) includes Benny Goodman and Adrian Rollini who were in the studios, for another session, and just sat in.The photograph was taken circa 1929. (Oy vay, the year I was born already!!)

THE CORRECT ONEOn September 26, 1937, Smith was severely injured in a car accident while traveling along U.S. Route 61 between Memphis, Tennessee and Clarksdale, Mississippi with her lover (and Lionel Hampton's uncle), Richard Morgan, at the wheel. She was taken to Clarksdale's Afro-American Hospital where her right arm was amputated. She did not regain consciousness, dying that morning.

Sep 26 1937 The Empress of the Blues, Bessie Smith, sustains grave injuries in a traffic accident on US Highway 61. She is taken to a colored hospital in Clarksdale, Mississippi and her arm amputated. Smith dies later that day from blood loss. According to legend, Bessie had been refused treatment by a closer, whites-only hospital.
