Mamie Smith: Crazy Blues Life and Music Video deals with the life and music of the great blues and vaudeville singer and the first African-American person to record a blues song, Mamie Smith.

Mamie Smith was an American singer. As a vaudeville singer, she performed in multiple styles, including jazz and blues. In 1920, she entered blues history as the first African-American artist to make vocal blues recordings. Willie "The Lion" Smith (no relation) described the background of these recordings in his autobiography Music on My Mind (1964).
