Crazy Blues[edit]

The first recording of vocal blues music by an African-American singer: Mamie Smith's performance of Perry Bradford's "Crazy Blues" in 1920.

I believe this is of obvious historical importance, and excellent quality. Also, while we've had some blues-leaning compositions before, I think this is a much better representation of the genre.

Very historically important, and a good recording to boot. I'm crazy for this recording. Don't make me blue by not promoting it! Support ++Lar: t/c 19:42, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
