''The Legacy of the Blues Vol. 7'' is an album by American blues pianist Memphis Slim which was recorded in 1967 and released on the Swedish Sonet label.

Reception

In his review for Allmusic, Nathan Bush says "Throughout the set, Slim is happy to lend the spotlight to his sidemen, working the 88s behind Eddie Chamblee's tenor solo on 'I Am the Blues' and Billy Butler's guitar on 'Ballin' the Jack.' Even in these situations however, the pianist is dazzling and his commentary always worth paying attention to."
