Bessie Mary Elizabeth Jones, conocida como Bessie Jones, nació el 8 de febrero de 1902 en Smithville, Georgia. Creció en una familia pobre de granjeros afroamericanos y aprendió canciones tradicionales de su abuelo, un ex esclavo. Jones empezó a actuar con la Spiritual Singers Society of Coastal Georgia tras mudarse a la isla de St. Simons en 1933. En 1963 fundó el grupo Georgia Sea Island Singers, con el que realizó numerosas giras a lo largo de la década de 1960, actuando en lugares como el Carnegie Hall y Central Park. Jones publicó su primer álbum en solitario, So Glad I'm Here, en 1974, seguido de Step It Down en 1975. Su trabajo incluye canciones notables como "Beggin' the Blues" (1961) y colaboraciones con el folclorista Alan Lomax. Jones recibió varios premios, entre ellos una Beca del Patrimonio Nacional de la Fundación Nacional de las Artes en 1982. La grabación inédita de un concierto en directo de 1965, The Complete Friends of Old Time Music Concert, fue publicada por Smithsonian Folkways Recordings en 2024. Falleció el 17 de julio de 1984 en Brunswick, Georgia.
