Careless Love
Song From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Careless Love" is a traditional song, with several popular blues versions. It has been called a "nineteenth-century ballad and Dixieland standard".[1]
The death referenced in an old version was the son of a Kentucky governor.[2] Although published accounts have cited 1926 as the copyright date,[3] W. C. Handy copyrighted "Loveless Love" in 1921 under Pace & Handy Music Co.[4]
A recording by Bessie Smith titled "Careless Love Blues" was very popular in 1925.[5] The same year it was recorded by Papa Celestin and his Tuxedo Dixieland Jazz Band and released as a single by OKeh.[6] New Orleans cornetist Chris Kelly was famous for his emotional rendition of the piece.[7]
