Norah Jones- Bessie Smith

a very good song
original sang by "the band"
this is the version of norah jones
in the house of blues of new orleans

[@adnanm.558]

A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice sings a beautiful song about a beautiful blues singer.

[@NautilusGuitars]

It's sad to me how few people in the comments even know who Bessie Smith is. A wonderful woman so forgotten.

[@PutsOnLoafers]

+Jimi Warner The empress of the blues in the 1920's 1930's whoa yo c'mon gotta cut people some slack... I had to look it up to know.

[@DangerBird]

this is what good musicians sound like when they do what they do best!

[@bhoqeem1975]

My god, she's beautiful. Even sparkling with sweat like that. THIS band is awesome, by the way.

[@Requiemslove]

I believed it at the time I first watched this DVD ages before any youtube uploads, and I still believe it to this day. Norah Jones... is the greatest singer to ever live. Which is not something that she'd ever claim or seek to lay claim to, but subconsciously when you home run as many covers as she has, how can you "not" be at least ONE of the best?

[@y2k7-9-11]

I remember hearing nightingales when I was homeless as I wondered and wandered around the city....Our Lady of Los Angeles...... Angel City for one and all....who needs her.

[@claussaunte2303]

The most powerfull female bluessinger ever, Thats Bessie Smith!

[@cantarooots]

One of my favourite songs ever. Love it by the band, love it by Norah. I think most people know have a Bessie or two in their life.

[@oliversmoochies8973]

i never get over the drummer playing drums with his face XD

[@smorris5638]

Thank you for the tribute! so many try to claim Legendary Black Musicians songs, style and flow as their own.

[@Requiemslove]

This is from LIVE IN NEW ORLEANS, what a magical DVD that is. I still recall the first time i ever watched that and was flabbergasted by how talented Norah and her band [at the time] was. Oh, for the handsome band, Norah just ain't quite been the same since they parted company. She is still who she is...but they were all such a great group. This song shows that.

[@aoristotle]

Where's the "Love Infinitely" button. Smoooth...Also I dig what you're saying about The Band. I get that all the time. Peace

[@aoristotle]

And that guitar solo was badass

[@bunbacheso]

that's so cool. and it's great to see an extremely talented artist perform a tribute to another extremely talented artist.

[@jlizanab]

We need this song on Spotify Now !!!!!!!!

[@gjazzy3072]

I love the way she sings this song. Real Gem!

[@Morrowriga]

Ever heard a voice so beautiful that it just moves you to tears every time you hear it? I cant listen to Norah Jones in public. Too embarassing...uhh for me. Any way fantastic stuff. So much soul in such a tiny body.

[@Soulmate-.]

Bessie was more than just a friend of mine We shared the good times with the bad Now many a year has passed me by I still recall the best thing I ever had I'm just goin' down the road t' see Bessie Oh, see her soon I'm just goin' down the road t' see Bessie Smith When I get there I wonder what she'll do All the crazy things I had to try Well I tried them all and then some But if you're lucky one day you find out Where it is you're really comin' from I'm just goin' down the road t' see Bessie Oh, see her soon I'm just goin' down the road t' see Bessie Smith When I get there I wonder what she'll do Now in my day I've made some foolish moves But back then, I didn't worry 'bout a thing And now again I still wonder to myself Was it her sweet love or the way that she could sing I'm just goin' down the road t' see Bessie Oh, see her soon I'm just goin' down the road t' see Bessie Smith When I get there I wonder what she'll do

[@yamamonkey]

one of the very, VERY few talented musicians to have become popular in the past few years, and with such great music at that

[@tlaalsrud204]

Wow, she really amazes me every time she does these performances. She is such a great singer!

[@JohanBeckers1]

Some guy said once: "you're voice is like liquid gold!! You can sing the phonebook!!". I'm sure he meant Norah :)

[@Obstsalatissimo]

+Johan Beckers ...and play it on Piano, I fully agree. Anyway this Song is much better than any phonebook!!!

[@petermonego]

soooo grindz she does it/they do it in A#....what a great key and expression of how they feel the song...wonder who every member of the band is thinking of??...best cover of this song that exists IMHO...also IMHO guitar player pushed for this one...if only for his sweet solo...wish Norita had more solo's on the keys....stop and smell the flowers :) so sweet...

[@stevepenney6459]

Ohh, Norah Jones. What a wonderful talent and a gift to all who can hear her.

[@lilianabartosi7356]

Beautiful and talented! She has an extraordinary voice and so many wonderful songs! 👋👋👋👋🌹❤️

[@johnroberts8464]

Norah Jones is the most beautful living creature to ever walk the face of this planet .

[@plantium1000]

Beautiful tribute to Bessie Smith. Bessie Smith story should of been told a long time ago. Beautiful, powerful women and to think what she accomplished back in the 30's , hard times and everything going against her, "true inspiration".

[@cityzen2717]

Died after an auto accident when the white hospital in Clarksdale, Mississippi refused her admission due to her color.

[@aimegildasportella9401]

Bessie was more than just a friend of mine We shared the good times and the bad Many years have since passed me by I still recall the best thing I ever had Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie Oh... To see her soon I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith When I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do Now all the crazy things I had to try Well I tried them all and then some If you look you one day you will find out Where it is that your really coming from Now I'm going down the road to see Bessie Oh... To see her soon I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith When I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do Now in my day I've made some foolish moves But back then I didn't worry about a thing Now and again I still wonder to myself Was it the sweet love, or the way that she could sing I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Oh... To see her soon I'm just going down the road to see Bessie Smith When I get there I'm a wondering what she'll do

[@jeppesen99]

She nailed this old 60s song

[@wearyassistant]

Norah Jones live in New Orleans, DVD nice I have beens search for a recording of this song for IPOD or a CD version. But never succeeded. She should have put it in her 2nd or 3rd CD... no brainer.

[@catpiperdrumkitten2235]

Listen to the original version :) Garth Hudson's solo is just amazing!

[@steinway1923]

the Lady sure is a star talented artist

[@ViolinBassPlayer]

Danko and Robertson sang this on the Basement tapes. Robbie on the bottom and Rick singing high harmony.
