Was It Her Sweet Love, Or The Way That She Could Sing?
This is one of my favorite songs in the world. Bessie Smith by The Band. It’s provenance is murky (as written of in this blog). Levon Helm (rest in peace) doesn’t sing it, but he is drumming and singing harmony in the chorus. I just wanted to share this song, because it is truly lovely to me.
If you want to hear Miss Bessie singing herself, take a look at this post I wrote awhile back. It’s the coolest thing ever.
