I’m 21 years old (22 next month) and I like this, too. You’re absolutely right, music needs to go back several decades.

St.Louis Blues is one of my favorites. A very interesting 1920 rare recording well done by Ms. Harris.

Wow, Im 39 years old, its 2010.—and I like this. I sure wish music would get back to some of that.

This is a really cool version! I’m used to hearing it played with just instruments. A really great American jazz classic. One of my favorite songs to play on organ.
Comment by luvureally on September 4, 2010 at 3:44 am
@dubonn3t Yes but it was the African-American who put those African and Europeans elements together to create the music.

the little cracks of the records add a little something to this song.can you believe this song is over 90 years old.

This is a nice version. It is not the same as Bessie Smith’s version, but then again, Marion Harris was not Bessie Smith. They are two different vocalists with two different styles. They also led two different lives.
I have always thought that trying to rank music and musicians on a scale, or say who is “better” than who, is an exercise in futility. What people should be doing is listening to a lot of music and deciding for themselves who they personally like and dislike.

Yeah, you’re right I don’t know you, I know your type, little dick, little promise, little life, sometimes in life you get lucky and this is one of those times
Comment by MissDellaReese on September 4, 2010 at 7:03 am
Marion Harris was an exceptional singer, and ALL music trancends race, if you have the talent, and she surely did.
Comment by Pattiiification on September 4, 2010 at 7:42 am
HA-HA you don’t even know me
Comment by Chazranman on September 4, 2010 at 8:39 am
And yet she was still more well known than you will ever be unless of course you go postal in a McDonalds, funny that

cause thats how is was in the past. It shouldn’t be like that today, but that was history…it was like that
Comment by the1musiclad on September 4, 2010 at 10:08 am
exactly. i don’t know why ppl still have to say “blacks did this” and “whites did that”. people did it all. give it a rest.
Comment by cushtichavi on September 4, 2010 at 10:25 am
I don’t care who’s music it is . Let’s just enjoy whoevever sings it. I believe the composer had abit to do with it too?
Comment by dubonn3t on September 4, 2010 at 11:00 am
A lyricist, composer and a performer all make a song, so why can’t different nationalities make a genre? Jazz would not exist without the instruments, language and techniques of Europe, OR the experiences, motivation and creativity of African-Americans, not to mention everything else contributed since by both these and musicians of other nationalities.

Bessie Smith version is way better!!!!
Comment by 128pagenovella on September 4, 2010 at 11:05 am
the point is, western harmony/western instruments were developed over thousands of years by very talented europeans. didn’t appear by magic. for blacks to inherit this body of work, add a little spin on it, then pretend this is ‘black music’ is absurd. btw there isn’t an african on the planet that would be willing to let a white use african instruments/techniques and call it white music. Even calling it ‘fusion’ would cause an uproar.
Comment by dammoonnm on September 4, 2010 at 11:30 am
but if you give a german an instrument and from that instrument he makes his own brand of music will u be willing to call that german music
Comment by 128pagenovella on September 4, 2010 at 11:39 am
if a german goes to africa, plays some african drums and sings in swahili, are you willing to call that german music? just because he adds a few lines about sausage eating?
Comment by dammoonnm on September 4, 2010 at 12:38 pm
did europeans create it, nope black people did, therefore it was black music
