Thursday, August 19th, 2010Marion Harris – After You’ve Gone (1918)
Thursday, August 19th, 2010
Marion Harris (1896 – April 23, 1944) was an American popular singer around 1920. She was the first widely known white singer to sing jazz and blues songs. Born Mary Ellen Harrison, probably in Indiana, she first played vaudeville and movie theatres in Chicago around 1914. She was spotted by dancer Vernon Castle, who enabled her entrance into the New York theatre scene where she debuted in a 1915 Irving Berlin revue titled Stop! Look! Listen!. In 1916 she began recording for Victor Records, singing a variety of songs such as “Everybody’s Crazy ‘Bout the Doggone Blues, But I’m Happy”, “After You’ve Gone”, “When I Hear that Jazz Band Play”, her biggest success “I Ain’t Got Nobody”, and “A Good Man Is Hard to Find”, later recorded by Bessie Smith. In 1920, after the Victor label would not allow her to record WC Handy’s “St. Louis Blues”, she joined Columbia Records where she recorded the song successfully. Sometimes billed as “The Queen of the Blues”, she tended to record blues- or jazz-flavoured tunes throughout her career. Handy wrote of Harris that “she sang blues so well that people hearing her records sometimes thought that the singer was colored”. She herself said:”..you usually do best what comes naturally [and] so I just naturally started singing Southern dialect songs and the modern blues songs..” In 1922 she moved to the Brunswick label. She also continued to appear in Broadway theatres throughout the 1920s. She regularly played the Palace Theatre, appeared in …

Bessie Smith – After You’ve Gone (1927)
Friday, April 9th, 2010
Bessie Smith (1892 – 1937) was a rough, crude, violent woman. She was also the greatest of the classic Blues singers of the 1920s. Bessie started out as a street musician in Chattanooga. In 1912 Bessie joined a traveling show as a dancer and singer. The show featured Pa and Ma Rainey, and Smith developed a friendship with Ma. Ma Rainey was Bessie’s mentor and she stayed with her show until 1915. Bessie then joined the TOBA vaudeville circuit and gradually built up her own following in the south and along the eastern seaboard. By the early 1920s she was one of the most popular Blues singers in vaudeville. In 1923 she made her recording debut on Columbia, accompanied by pianist Clarence Williams. They recorded “Gulf Coast Blues” and “Down Hearted Blues.” The record sold more than 750000 copies that same year, rivaling the success of Blues singer Mamie Smith (no relation). Throughout the 1920s Smith recorded with many of the great Jazz musicians of that era, including Fletcher Henderson, James P. Johnson, Coleman Hawkins, Don Redman and Louis Armstrong. Her rendition of “St. Louis Blues” with Armstrong is considered by most critics to be one of finest recordings of the 1920s. Bessie Smith was one of the biggest African-American stars of the 1920s and was popular with both Whites and African-Americans, but by 1931 the Classic Blues style of Bessie Smith was out of style and the Depression, radio, and sound movies had all damaged the record companies’ ability to sell records …
