    • Down Hearted Blues (1923) Composed by Lovie Austin with lyrics by Alberta Hunter. Released as Bessie’s first single with ‘Gulf Coast Blues’ on the other side, this was a big hit for Smith reportedly selling 780,000 copies in the first six months.
    • Baby Won’t You Please Come Home (1923) Composed by Charles Warfield and Clarence Williams. Another big hit from 1923 and accompanied again by pianist Clarence Williams who also takes co-composer credits, a fact that was greatly disputed by Charles Warfield.
    • Tain’t Nobody’s Biz-ness If I Do (1923) Composed by Everett Robbins and Porter Grainger. Another early classic from Bessie, again accompanied by Clarence Williams.
    • St. Louis Blues (1925) Composed by W.C. Handy. This is undoubtably one of Smith’s most endearing and heart-breaking songs. From love to hatred the lyrics tell of a woman who left for another by her man, and the sense of love and loss that gradually turns to a feeling of betrayal.
