Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })St. Louis Blues is a 1929 short film (16 minutes) directed by Dudley Murphy.Bessie Smith, a singer, lives in a rooming house with her boyfriend Jimmie. Jimmie is a hoodlum and lowlife who is sponging off of Bessie while carrying on an affair with another woman. When Bessie comes home and catches Jimmie with the other woman, he leaves her, stomping out of the room. Bessie then goes to the club downstairs and sings the iconic song "St. Louis Blues".W.C. Handy is credited as musical arranger for the recording of this song, his signature piece, which popularized the blues across the nation. This film is the only known footage of Bessie Smith, the "Empress of the Blues" who remains the one of the most famous blues singers to ever live. | |

Something Blues: The word "blues" for this style of music pre-dated Handy's song, but the song certainly popularized the word. | |
