1937 - Bessie Smith joins the ancestors in Clarksville, Mississippi, after
succumbing to injuries sustained in car crash. She was one of the
nation's greatest blues singers and was nicknamed "the Empress of
the Blues." In 1925, Smith and Louis Armstrong made the definitive
rendition of W.C. Handy's "St. Louis Blues," and in 1929 she
made her only movie appearance in the movie of the same name.
1998 - Grammy-winning jazz singer Betty Carter joins the ancestors in New
York City at age 69.
