Memphis Slim & Mickey Baker perform three songs together: 0:00 Rockin the House, 2:50 Animal in Me, 5:37 I’m Lost Without You. Rockin the House was first issued by Memphis Slim in 1947 and featured Willie Dixon, it changed a bit (Let me roll) since then. Animal in Me was released on the duo’s ’Bluesingly Yours’ album of that current year, 1968. I’m Lost Without You was first recorded in 1961 for the ’World’s Foremost Blues Singer’ album. Filmed at Le plateau de Bouton Rouge, 1968

Mickey Baker was of ’Mickey & Sylvia’, her wrote and recorded the original ’Love Is Strange’. He was an in-demand guitar player, and played on the original versions of all these classics:- I Need Your Love So Bad, Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin On, Money Honey and Shake Rattle & Roll. He wrote a classic tuition book, ’Mickey Baker’s Complete Course in Jazz Guitar’ - it’s still in print.

(Sylvia of Mickey & Sylvia was Sylvia Robertson, first a guitar pupil of Mickey’s, later she became a founder and CEO of Sugar Hill Records, financed by Morris Levy who was described as the Mafia’s front man in the music industry. Levy was alleged to have kept most of Mickey’s Love is Strange royalties. )
Both guys had moved to France - perhaps in the footsteps of Josephine Baker - like many jazz & blues artists they felt more at home there than the USA. So it was natural to do this French TV promotion for their ’Bluesingly Yours’ album. The story of Mickey as recounted by Jim Simpson of Big Bear Records who worked with Mickey in the 70’s, has just been posted here:
