I am familiar with Bessie Smith a little more than Ma Rainey, but I do know who Ma Rainey is and her influence on popular music. I appreciate you sharing the antedotal information, which I found fun and humorous. As for Bessie, she was in an automobile accident and might have survived had she not had to be transported to the "colored" hospital. She laid in an unmarked grave until Janis Joplin bought a stone for her grave. Again thanks for the great background information on a true "work of art". Great Post BB!
