By 1931 he had moved to Chicago , where he made his first recordings , as Bumble Bee Slim, for Paramount Records .[3] song "B&O Blues" was a hit for Vocalion Records , inspiring several other railroad blues and eventually becoming a popular folk song.[3] Decca Records , Bluebird Records and Vocalion,[5] Big Bill Broonzy , Peetie Wheatstraw , Tampa Red , Memphis Minnie , and Washboard Sam .
