In 1978, legendary bluesman Memphis Slim was named the official "Ambassador of the Blues" by California Senator Hayakawa; he is considered among the greatest blues pianists ever and has also written many popular songs, most notably "Everyday I Have the Blues." Slim was born Peter Chatman in the city that provided his nickname. He moved to Chicago in the late '30s and recorded a couple solo singles before becoming an accompanist for Big Bill Broonzy for a few years. Slim went solo in 1944. In the early '60s, Slim moved to Paris and began performing there and in Europe. In 1968, he played a nightclub singer in The Sergeant.
