She was born in Chattanooga April 15, 1894 and was orphaned by the age of nine. She and her siblings were raised by Viola, the eldest sister.
Bessie began her road to fame by singing for coins along 9th Street or "the Big Nine", what is now known as M. L. King Blvd. Smith is reported to have performed in two local theaters including the Grand and the Liberty on 9th Street. After becoming well known locally, she joined a traveling music show, trained under "Ma" Rainey and touring with Ma by the age of 12.
Smith's recording career only lasted about a decade. After her first recording was made in 1923 (and eventually sold over 800,000 copies), Bessie Smith made 160 more records. Her last recording was made ten years later, in 1933.
Bessie Smith died September 26, 1937, from injuries sustained in an automobile accident while on tour in Mississippi. She is buried near her home in Philadelphia. Biographers have depicted her as leading a colorful life, collaborating with the great songwriters and performers of her time, having a few marriages, struggling with addictions, as well as financial ups and downs.
