Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out

Product Information

From Sheet Music Magazine: This final hit in the illustrious, remarkable career of Bessie Smith reached #15 in 1929. It was her 15th hit, an amazing achievement for an African-American Woman in the 1920's. Linda Hopkins revived the song in the 70's with her one-woman show "Bessie and Me." More contemporary artists, including Janis Joplin and Eric Clapton have recorded the song as well.
