Biografia:
Bessie Smith (Chattanooga, Tennessee, 15 de abril de 1894 - Clarksdale, Mississippi, 26 de setembro de 1937) A imperatriz do Blues começou a carreira cantando em bordéis, e em 1923 foi a Nova Iorque para a sua primeira gravação. Bessie Smith ficou na história da música devido ao seu incrível senso rítmico e habilidade de improvisar em cima das estruturas do Blues.
Dona de um forte temperamento, a cantora passava por constantes conflitos, visto que viveu num época marcada pela opressão racial nos Estados Unidos.

"Careless Love"
Traditional (lyrics as sung by Bessie)
G D G
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G D
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G C
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G D G
See what careless love has done
G D G
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G D
You've fly through my head like wine
G C
You've wrecked the life of a many poor girl
G D G
And you nearly spoiled this life of mine
G D G
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G D
In your clutches of desire
G C
You've made me break a many true vow
G D G
Then you set my soul on fire
G D G
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G D
All my happiness bereft
G C
You've filled my heart with weary old blues
G D G
Now I'm walkin', talkin' to myself
G D G
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G D
Trusted you now, it's too late
G C
You've made me throw my old friend down
G D G
That's why I sing this song of hate
G D G
Love, oh love, oh careless love
G D
Night and day, I weep and moan
G C
You brought the wrong man into this life of mine
G D G
For my sins, till judgment I'll atone
