Memphis Slim

[Admin]

Memphis Slim (September 3, 1915 – February 24, 1988) was an American blues pianist, singer, and composer. He led a series of bands that, reflecting the popular appeal of jump blues, included saxophones, bass, drums, and piano. A song he first cut in 1947, "Every Day I Have the Blues", has become a blues standard, recorded by many other artists. He made over 500 recordings.

From memory "Every Day I Have the Blues" was the title given to alternative Federal release. The original Miracle recording was entitled "Nobody Loves Me". I hope I've understood that correctly - I'm sure somebody will put me right if I haven't.

Indeed you are correct, sir (at least according to my Miracle label discography...LOL).  I wrote it down, so logically, it must be true.  this is the pertinent portion of the info.

Thanks for documenting in a clearer form than what I came up with.
