A native of Spartanburg, South Carolina, Clara Smith was an inspired blues vocalist with a persuasive voice that could be wonderfully disarming when combined with some of her tougher lyrics. A nearly exact contemporary of her friend Bessie Smith, Clara was born in 1894, began performing in theater and vaudeville at the age of 14, and worked in that environment for 13 years. After many years on the road, in 1923 Smith landed in Harlem and began making records. One of the Document label's greatest achievements during the '90s was the six-part reissue of her 125 Columbia recordings dating from 1923-1932. Volume 1 covers the first seven months of her phonographic career, from June 1923 to January 1924.   Compilation Appearances Vol. 2-Early American Women Bl Sultry Divas Ladies Sing The Blues Century Of The Blues Oh Sister: best Of Southern Blues Wild Women Blues   Technical Info Release Date : 09/2000 Original Release Date : 1995 Catalog ID : 5364 Label : Document (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Mono SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00714298536423    Related Videos This Time: Robert Cray Ballad Of John Henry Joe ...
