Hi All,

The work of one of my favorite artists, Bessie Smith, is up on the Internet
Archive:

http://archive.org/details/BessieSmithMp3AudioSongs

She died more than 70 years ago
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bessie_Smith>. Can
any of you lovely folk shed any light on whether those works on the
Internet Archive are in the public domain and tell me whether you know of
any copyright issues that surround her work?

All the best,

Sam
