"3 O' Clock Blues" is a 1951 song by B.B. King. B.B. King's debut single went to number one on the R&B Best Seller charts for five weeks and was his most successful release on the R&B charts. B.B. King's performance on the single makes extensive use of melisma, which bends and streches a single syllable into a melodic phrase. (I never knew that)
blues for peace
