I'd Rather Be Dead and Buried
by Bessie Smith


Weasel Popmeister says: Before there was Janis Joplin, before there was Aretha Franklin, and even before Ella Fitzgerald, there was Bessie Smith. Sexy, charming, sophisticated, powerful. She was all those things. And Bessie, baby let me just say, I feel your pain. PD4U, thanks for all your important work giving homage to the forgotten predecessors of American music. "I'd Rather Be Dead and Buried" receives its proper tribute as today's MP3 Jackpot Winner!
