The "Empress of the Blues" was Bessie Smith, a prominent blues singer in the 1920s. She became one of the highest-paid African American performers of her time, known for her powerful voice and emotional delivery. Smith's influence on the genre and her popularity during the Harlem Renaissance helped elevate the status of Blues Music in American culture.
