I recently saw "Bessie" the film on HBO. I thought that Queen Latifah did a great job portraying the great Empress of the Blues. I was actually more shocked at the nudity that she provided than the woman on woman kissing scenes. It's a more or less a given that Latifah is a lesbian off screen so the kissing wasn't really a shock. I remember I was listening to Bessie Smith once and my mom walked by and asked why I was listening to Mae West! This is a Bessie Smith's signature song "Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out" along with some great pictures. Enjoy! Thanks For Your Comments.
