Bessie Smith - Need a Little Sugar In My Bowl (Audio)

[@1lordthorpe]

Great sound quality. Often these old recordings don't have a good quality but this was good, a majestic voice.

[@jacktar9567]

[@molkamissaoui]

Tired of bein' lonely, tired of bein' blue I wished I had some good man, to tell my troubles to Seem like the whole world's wrong Since my man's been gone I need a little sugar in my bowl I need a little hot dog on my roll I can stand a bit of lovin', oh so bad I feel so funny, I feel so sad I need a little steam-heat on my floor Maybe I can fix things up, so they'll go What's the matter hard papa Come on and save your mama's soul 'Cause I need a little sugar, in my bowl, doggone it I need a some sugar in my bowl I need a little sugar in my bowl I need a little hot dog between my rolls You gettin' different, I've been told Move your finger, drop something in my bowl

[@PRISMN54]

I'm so glad I found this song here in KZbin. I have the vinyl album since...1970 (uau!!Am I that old? LOL) and I always understood "I need a little steam-heat on my BLOW", not floor

[@ruthdixon7807]

"what's the matter, hard papa, come on and save you mama's soul 'cos I need a little sugar in my bowl..."

[@Dachozan1]

2023 never cease to amaze me

[@jacobsable4543]

Last year in ninth grade I heard this song at school on the news in Ms. Lemay's classroom. I should ask Ms. Lemay if she's ever listened to this song.

[@annamari7863]

not before you're in grade 12, though

[@ilyimy4249]

here for school but this song is amazing

[@Larinho2]

I see that three people dislike this. How on earth can that be?

[@elizabethmeyer7709]

😆😆😆😆😆

[@anotherjoshua]

wonderfully filthy song.

[@AlanReynoldsEcon]

Not quite as great at "Put It Right Here" (which is about money, unlike Sugar in my Bowl) but pretty damned great.

[@mtntime1]

I need a hot dog in my roll? Um, a little graphic, there.

[@cheryllakin3077]

Risque, is the word. Unlike today's music that shoves it in your face. This is kinda tongue in cheek, and comical. Gotta love that old music 😊

[@petej7002]

cheryl lakin todays music? Have you heard shave em dry or till the cows come home by lucille bogan where in one song she litterally talks about her nipples and the other she straight up says talking about fucking. 1930s music thats too dirty for todays radio ? What about warm my weiner by Bo carter? How about my girls pussy by Harry roy ? Dont play yourself by glorifying the past at least todays music we don’t pretend to be holier than thou.

[@sunshinejewel2952]

Pete J that type was music was rare and it was hidden. Those times were better period

[@petej7002]

Sunshine It was rare ? How rare when they played it after hours at a bar .Your talking about an america where safe sex wasn’t a thing and prostitution was in your face. Don’t fool yourself , into thinking anytime was better than today. If anything you are just witness of a natural evolution of yesteryear .

[@hirethemuffins]

@@petej7002 Yup, people are people and sex is sex no matter which decade you're in, it's about time we cleared those clouds of nostalgia and seen it for ourselves! Thank you for your comments!!

[@alexisrose1457]

Looks like a snake 😂😂😂😂😂

[@lornebain3831]

Lol...

[@marvwatkins7029]

Most musical artists didn't live long. Look at Mozart.

[@edwardharrigan2103]

Wish I'd met you. I would have been there for you bess...

[@ElizabethMeyer-qn7xn]

😅😅😅😅😅😅😊

[@deborahsullivan0]

I like hot dogs ❤

[@barryhardiman1135]

The mucky bugger

[@MrOpodeldok]

Anyone to explain "Hot Dog" and "spreaded Rollers", that´s what it is.

[@chicagorainbow8935]

Hot Dog Is A Euphemism For Dick And Spreaded Rollers Mean When You Spread Your Legs!!!

[@JustinMcGraw-t1e]
