Memphis Slim - Sittin' on Top of the World

"Sitting on Top of the World" (also rendered as "Sittin' on Top of the World") is a folk-blues song written by Walter Vinson and Lonnie Chatmon, core members of the Mississippi Sheiks, a popular country blues band of the 1930s. "Sitting on Top of the World" has become a standard of traditional American music. The song has been widely recorded in a variety of different styles — folk, blues, country, bluegrass, rock — often with considerable variations and/or additions to the original verses. The lyrics of the original song convey a stoic optimism in the face of emotional setbacks, and the song has been described as a “simple, elegant distillation of the Blues”. This year the world celebrates 100 years anniversary of the legendary blues figure of all times - Memphis Slim (1915 - 1988), Strangely enough his version of "Sittin' on top of the world" has not been featured on YouTube. It was my pleasure to fill this void!
