Jackie Kay joins Lauren to talk about "Empress Of The Blues" Bessie Smith, and we take a listener back to a pivotal moment in their life through the music they listened to and loved at the time in Social Recall.

Plus it's your chance to get a tune played on the radio if you're First In, we hand-pick something incredible from around the 6 Music schedule in Fantastic Beats & Where To Find Them, and we'll play you something brand new that we love in While You Were Sleeping.
