베시 스미스
_by_Carl_Van_Vechten.jpg)
베시 스미스(Bessie Smith, 1894년 4월 15일 ~ 1937년 9월 26일)는 재즈 시대에 널리 알려진 미국의 블루스 가수이다. 별명은 Empress of the Blues였으며 1930년대와 1950년대의 가장 대중적인 여성 블루스 가수였다. 그녀의 시대에서 가장 위대한 가수들 가운데 한 명으로 인식되곤 하며 동료 블루스 가수들과 재즈 보컬리스트에 큰 영향을 미쳤다.[1]
미국 테네시주 채터누가에서 태어난 스미스는 어려서 부모를 일찍 여의고 그녀와 형제자매는 거리 모서리에서 공연을 함으로써 생계를 이어나갔다. 마 레이니가 소속된 단체에서 투어와 공연을 시작했으며 이후 그녀 자신만의 길을 걸어나갔다. 콜럼비아 레코드와의 성공적인 레코딩 경력이 1920년대에 시작되었으나 자동차 사고로 인해 43세 나이로 사망했다.
