During a 1962 broadcast from Paris on French TV, Memphis Slim (piano & vocals) explores different versions of the “Four O’Clock Blues” at fast and slow tempos.

Beginning with an up-tempo instrumental rendition of “Four O’Clock Blues” as once performed at a club on Beale Street by a pianist named Pee Wee, Memphis Slim proceeds with a slower more bluesy treatment of the tune complete with vocals.
