Billie Poole - confessing’ the Blues

Billie Poole was a young girl from Californian who became known in Paris in the early 60s as a blues singer, in a style derivative of Bessie Smith and the heritage of the urban, vocalized blues form. Her own country wouldnt catch up until later, after her successful appearances in the clubs of the French capital helped her build a career. It was then that Riversde offered her a recording contract.
