9th Annotation

Snow, Joel. "Bessie Smith ." Bessie Smith. October 7, 1997. 14 Nov 2008 .

This website came to be somewhat useful, take for instance when it stated, " Bessie started working small-time traveling tent shows, such as Charles P. Bailey's troupe and Pete Werley's Florida Cotton Blossoms, carnivals, and hony-tonks. Her first recording, Down Hearted Blues, was released in the spring of 1923. Though released without special promotion, it was an immediate success, and had sold over two million copies by the end of the first year of release, an immense number for that time." Out of all the websites I have visit this was the only website that gave me this particular information.
