St. James Infirmary is a partially live album by American folk and blues singer Dave Van Ronk, released in 1983. It was re-released on CD in 1996 as Statesboro Blues by EPM Musique.
"St. James Infirmary Blues", sometimes known as "Gambler's Blues," is an Americanfolksong of anonymous origin, though sometimes credited to the songwriter Joe Primrose (a pseudonym for Irving Mills). Louis Armstrong made it famous in his influential 1928 recording.
Authorship and history
"St. James Infirmary" is often said to be based on an 18th-century traditional English folk song called "The Unfortunate Rake" (also known as "The Unfortunate Lad" or "The Young Man Cut Down in His Prime"), about a soldier who uses his money on prostitutes, and then dies of a venereal disease. The familiar recorded versions (such as Armstrong's) nevertheless bear little relation to the older traditional song.
The title is said to derive from St. James Hospital in London, a religious foundation for treatment of leprosy. ("Infirmary" is sometimes used to name a hospital, such as the Mobile Infirmary Medical Center in Mobile, Alabama). There is some difficulty in this, since it closed in 1532 when Henry VIII acquired the land to build St. James Palace.
Another possibility is the Infirmary section of the St James Workhouse, which the St James Parish opened in 1725 on Poland Street, Piccadilly, and which continued well into the nineteenth century. This St James Infirmary was contemporaneous with the advent of the song.

Cab Calloway 1933 Cartoon of St. James Infirmary Blues
Live performance of this music by my St. James Trio on acoustic piano, sax, and guitar:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCU4VkQodj4
Please have a look, we did our best to recreate this music just as performed by Cab's orchestra.
This is from a 1933 Betty Boop cartoon that tells a condensed and somewhat twisted version of Snow White. In the middle of the cartoon we have Cab Calloway singing St. James Infirmary Blues. This video starts with him and his orchestra, a rare live action scene that's actually from another cartoon of this era, Minnie the Moocher, a song which Calloway is most famous for. He sings that song as a Walrus and it's in a different key than what we see the orchestra performing at the beginning of that cartoon. As it turns out the footage and music that start Minnie t...

As it turns out the footage and music that start Minnie the Moocher is clearly the same recording as the song we have here, St. James Infirmary Blues, and later in the edit I join these two pieces of audio together. He starts singing the tune as Koko the Clown, then gets morphed into a ghost. Wonderful animation that capture his annunciation and dance moves, with other wild visuals. Towards the end we see how the animators turned his live action movements into cartoon form. Included scenes from 1980 film The Blues Brothers, where Cab Calloway again performs Minnie the Moocher, which was my initial introduction to this singer and performer.

Shifting to the present, Ricci has a new album out - Behind the Veil - and he’s excited about it ... One of the album’s standout cuts is “St. James’ Infirmary.” Kind of an obvious choice for a New Orleans musician, no?.
James Infirmary.” ... James Infirmary” transitioned into “I Need You,” a standout track from Batiste’s 2021 Grammy-dominating album “We Are.” His band locked into “I Need You,” which paused for a percussion breakdown, then took off again.
