Best 8-Bar Blues?

I'm a big fan of Jazz Gillum's version of Key To The Highway:

and also I admire the perfect, balanced chord structure of "Heartbreak Hotel" - but I really can't think of a whole lot of 8-bar blues joints off the top of my head. What are some of your favorites?

the last chord is held out an extra bar but the III chord really makes this a contender:
