Jackie Kay on Bessie Smith

What was it about Bessie Smith that made such an impression on you? I think she’s simply the best. I think all the blues singers at the time – Clara Smith, Ma Rainey, Ethel Waters – would have acknowledged that she was the queen of the blues; her tempo, her timing, her understanding of the blues. She wrote a lot of her own blues. Ma Rainey taught her a lot of the ropes, but Bessie was technically, and in every which way, better than any of her contemporaries. And I think Bessie’s life captures us. Alas, we all do love a tragic death. We all like to think, ‘What would have happened if someone had lived longer?’ From the Janis Joplins to the Bessie Smiths to the Amy Winehouses to the Robert Burns, we are constantly left with the question, ‘what if?’
