I'm 85 years old -- STILL rockin' in the free world -- The lyrics of this tune are as cool as the melody. Baldry is relatively unknown, but he kicks the asses of better-known performers. They sure don't make music like they used to back in the day. Thank God for Long John Baldry !!
Relatively unknown? Then you're too young to remember. His career crossed paths with Elton John when he was still an unknown Reginald Dwight, as part of Long John's great band Bluesology. (with a then unknown Rod Stewart) Long John Baldry formed The Hoochie Coochie Men (1965), then the far underrated blues band Steampacket, and finally Bluesology, before setting out on his solo career. John Baldry's album 'It Ain't Easy' was a huge hit, but his impact on some of the UK's most famous bands (i.e., the Rolling Stones) is well known. "Relative Unknown" is best saved for individuals or groups you struggle to remember. (Long) John Baldry was not that. I'm so glad he found sanctuary in BC, where he felt free to live his life. He always played a great show, and I'm grateful for the many times we saw him. R.I.P.
YES. "RELATIVELY" unknown by most Americans -- I'm 85 years old; definitely NOT "too young to remember". I appreciate your knowledge of Baldry's career and the info you provided. I'm just a fan, not an afficianado like yourself.
OK, I'm with you other old rock & rollers, I'll be 70 in May. This song kicked ass at any kegger back in the late 60's- early 70's. As good as it gets mi amigo's. ✌️
Bought this album in '71-'72 without even knowing who Baldry was. Today I'm 76 years old and this song is as great as it ever was. Playing this at full volume is by B-Day present to myself.
Loved Long John Baldry ,sadly gone now but he won't be forgotten by anyone who heard that wonderful raspy voice. I'm wondering how many people know that he is " Sugar Bear" from his great friend Elton Johns song " Someone saved my life tonight ? ( When Reg Dwight became Elton John it was because he took the last and first names of two people in the band , and the John was from Long "John" Baldry. It's said Long John did actually prevent Elton from commuting suicide at a time in his life when he was struggling with his sexuality. Long John was also gay ,as I mentioned earlier he is " Sugar Bear" in "Someone saved my life tonight". Marvelous voice , by all accounts an equally marvelous man,loyal and true. Let The Heartaches Begin. I have to hear that now. Rest well ,big John.
As did I 68 yrs old and just replaced the CD that was löst during a breakup. Was in constant play in my home. My visitors always insisted on hearing it while using cheap Mexican weed
I first heard this tune here in Arizona on a radio station that specialized in album cuts and full album plays late at night. Sometime in the early 70s, teenage me, headphones on my head mesmerized by the music and Baldry's narration. Thank God for the internet we can make freinds with this boogie woogie music again.
YO, Jerry -- was that radio station KCAC, or mebbe KDKB !?? Best in the nation !! One of 'em threw a benefit concert for CODAC, the drug rehab folks. Lynerd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels Band, Marshall Tucker, and others -- for TWO (2) DOLLARS !! Phoenix was VERY "cool" in those days -- I miss 'em. 😁
@@jerrycoggin9434 YEP. It was KDKB. They named a concert venue after Bill Compton -- Compton Terrace -- Saw Fleetwood Mac there -- mebbe in '82. I don't remember much due to the ganja. 😁
I have this album. Long John gave some of their first jobs to Ginger Baker, Jeff Beck and Brian Jones. Elton John played piano in one of his bands. Charlie Watts, Ron Wood and Keith Richards played in his band pre-Stones. John was one of the first to play the Blues in England in the 50's when he was a 6'7" teenager. Clapton said John inspired him to play the Blues. He passed away in 2005 in Canada. RIP Long John.
between Baldry and Mayall and each other wannabe rock'n'roll or blues players in '60s Britain had some first-rate informal schooling + practice options
How delightful! Don’t try to lay no Boogie Woogie on the King of R&R! Older than dirt maybe; we’ll always remember the King of R&R. If this doesn’t blow your shorts; nothing will!
My wife definitely agrees. Me to of course. Merger of the blues, jazz, rock and roll and rhythm and blues. Now they just shout at each other - no beat, no screaming guitar, no horns, piano, organ, or girls with tambourines. Take care.
I bought this LP early 70's sometime and have loved it ever since. What can anyone say about John Baldry that hasn't been said at least a million times already. This song has been a favorite since I first heard it. Yeah, baby
30 years (and a bit) ago I was sat (with my son) in an airport lounge waiting for a flight out of Vancouver and seated across the room was LJB, cape, hat and all and I was too shy to go over and tell him how much I loved his music. Regret that I didn't do that to this day.
I am 70!! ... As of the twelve of December 2022 and I'm still plugging along, best R&R years were the 50's through the 80's,.... ... I loved most of it!! Rock On!!
Pushing 70 here, and dancing solo in my kitchen to this amazing tune - full blast. I just love this. We may be old, but we were blessed with the best music ever back in the day. Talk about the soundtrack of our lives! We were born right in that musical “sweet spot.”
As a rocknroll DJ in the 70's, I heard this and thought, well that's pretty great...still think so today...how's that for stayin' power: Hats off to ya, Mr. Baldry!
I'm 71 now. Bought this album when it first came out. My ex has it now, or at least had it. These days I have a streaming copy and still listen to it. All I can say is, "Thanks for the entertainment!"
Seriously, one of the greatest rock and roll songs ever put out. The groove that kicks in after the introduction can not be denied. And the guitar riff…fantastic! Then you add in the awesome vocal, amazing piano and great sax. Crazy. Oh, and let’s not forget the backing singers with the title hook.🤯 And it all starts with a three-minute introductory story. Who does that? Nobody…except for Long John Baldry.😉👏
I'm 72 and sitting here " just really digging on this shit" as my old hippie self would have so eloquently said!! love it, always have, always will!!!!
I am 73 and started listening to Baldry right after I went to college. His music is great and this is the one that put him on the map. Most people don't realize that Elton John was in Baldry's band. In fact where Elton got his name came from the sax player (Elton) and Baldry (John). Elton understood rock n roll
I graduated high school in 70'. Time for Viet Nam !! and must add here that Crow did a fantastic version in 70' Baldry came a year later in 71' Loved em both
After Steampacket broke up in 1966, Baldry formed Bluesology featuring Reg Dwight on keyboards and Elton Dean, later of Soft Machine, as well as Caleb Quaye on guitar. Dwight, when he began to record as a solo artist, adopted the name Elton John, his first name from Elton Dean and his surname from John Baldry. .
Looks as though I am joining many of my geration here to celebrate our youth, at 74, remember him well even saw him live, fantastic times. "Boomers Rock on!"
the first time I heard this on the radio...I listened to the story...and when he said the words... "dont try to lay no boogie woogie on the king of rock and roll"...and the music started...THAT WAS IT! THATS THE STUFF I BEEN WAITING FOR!!!! Then I found Motown and rag ...picked up a bass and never looked back...
@@ianprest3850 You probably already know this, but Elton John named himself after Long John Baldry. And in the LJB song "Can't Judge a Book", he references Rod Stewart by singing "Can't judge Rod Stewart by looking at his nose..". Just an awesome, awesome man.
I was at the (Gardens) vancouver British Columbia in 1971 LJ Baldry,Fleetwood Mac n Savoy Brown, best concert Ever, I was 15 yrs young then, anyone else there?
This album and 600 others that I have been carrying around with me for 50 years or so, got flooded inside my RV from a hurricane here in Florida. The loss of album cover art, which I’m sure is never to be inspired again, was tragic. Capt Joe Kelley.
Played the egg-suckin' grooves off this on WZZQ-FM, then in Jackson, Mississippi, back in the mid/late 70s. That first drum CRACK! ain't nothing short of monsterous!
My brother had this album and took it with him when he went away to college in 1971. So I bought the album myself in 1971 as a senior in high school. Still have it today. My friends and I would load up and turn this song on. And as Long John would be nearing the end of his narrative, we would turn up the reciever a notch at a time, and then full blast when John kicked into singing. That's how you started the party. Neighbors loved us and of course Mom and Dad weren't home at the time. Great talent John was, and Rod Stewart and Elton John weren't too bad either as members of the band.
Wow. Just wow. Exactly what I needed to get these old bones moving this morning. I've got it cranked-up, on repeat, and I'm dancing (as much as I can) around my apartment. Thanx so very much for sharing! This is a true classic. One I've been searching for, for a loooong time.
I was home .On leave ,just finished ITR…. Younger Brother was playing this… GreatRock…Never will forget this as He fired one up and I tossed Him a Fringed Leather Buckskin Jacket….All these years, He still has it…..and the 78 of Long John Baldry….
Loved him first time I heard him like 45 years ago--another 'old hippie' sit-in' here digging' the shit outta this'..he and his take on life, music and attitudes will stay with me-as I think I've just proven. FAR OUT!
I was 12 when this first came out and it made me fall in love with jazz/boogie woogie piano music. I bought the album, played it till I wore it out, then rebought it. I think I'll listen to some Leon Russell and Dr. John next.
First time listening to this in my old Ford, I swore out loud when he dropped intro the full song. I didn’t see it coming but a split second before the drop and it sent me hard
Outa high school in 71. Got a high lottery number for the draft. Heading my butt to San Jose City College. Remember hearing this on the car radio; All I knew for sure was I didn't understand what this music was about, but I loved it, and needed better speakers for my VW bug
Don't try to lay no boogie boogie on the king of rock and roll. One hot track from John Baldry. He's right. It ain't easy. But it's a he'll of a lot of fun!!!!!!!!!
First time i heard this was back in the 70s on the king Bisquit Flour Hour...Played whole concerts or albums great entertainment !!! Rock On Follow Rockers !!! BTW am 62 pushing 63 and digging life
I'm 85 years old -- STILL rockin' in the free world -- The lyrics of this tune are as cool as the melody.

ps: When, in 1975, Elton John sang “Someone Saved My Life Tonight,” that someone was blues singer Long John Baldry.
YES. "RELATIVELY" unknown by most Americans -- I'm 85 years old; definitely NOT "too young to remember". I appreciate your knowledge of Baldry's career and the info you provided.
I'm just a fan, not an afficianado like yourself.
I'm 83 and couldn't agree more
😅
OK, I'm with you other old rock & rollers, I'll be 70 in May. This song kicked ass at any kegger back in the late 60's- early 70's. As good as it gets mi amigo's. ✌️
Like the rest of you oldies, I'm 73 and still jammin with John!
Elton John chose the name "John" because of this guy.
Bought this album in '71-'72 without even knowing who Baldry was. Today I'm 76 years old and this song is as great as it ever was. Playing this at full volume is by B-Day present to myself.
Baldry played with Elton Dean and a young Reginald Dwight in a group called "Bluesology". He took the stage name those two performers.
my sister and brother played it for me when i was like 10 and its still in my head....thanks sibs!

I'm 74 and can tell the same story. I remember when there was a big promotion for the album and it was on the radio constantly... so I bought it.
2024 bloke here. This is one of the best tunes ever. Can't best the king of rock and roll!!
I am 71. Best rock and roll almost nobody has ever heard
Some of us have. But you are right.
71, too … so glad I have 🤣💙🤣
I first heard this tune here in Arizona on a radio station that specialized in album cuts and full album plays late at night. Sometime in the early 70s, teenage me, headphones on my head mesmerized by the music and Baldry's narration. Thank God for the internet we can make freinds with this boogie woogie music again.
YO, Jerry -- was that radio station KCAC, or mebbe KDKB !?? Best in the nation !!
One of 'em threw a benefit concert for CODAC, the drug rehab folks.
Lynerd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels Band, Marshall Tucker, and others -- for TWO (2) DOLLARS !!
Phoenix was VERY "cool" in those days -- I miss 'em. 😁
@SlikLizrd yes, Bill Compton at KDKB I believe we're the call letters. So, you hit the nail on the head.
@@jerrycoggin9434 YEP. It was KDKB. They named a concert venue after Bill Compton -- Compton Terrace -- Saw Fleetwood Mac there -- mebbe in '82. I don't remember much due to the ganja. 😁
Did that station play The Beatles' "Here Comes The Sun" every morning at 6 AM?
@@jerrybaustian5256 I don't know -- I was never awake at 6:00 AM. 😁
I have this album. Long John gave some of their first jobs to Ginger Baker, Jeff Beck and Brian Jones. Elton John played piano in one of his bands.

"I don't listen to Long John often,,,, but when I do,,,, so do my neighbours!!"
😂🤣❤
i can hear you from england land
From story teller to full blown rock and roller is one of my favorites. Boogie Woogie indeed!,
Im going to be 73 and still listen to this and other old favorites great music.
Proof positive that we grew up with the BEST music!!
He also did the voice of robotnik from the sonic the hedgehog cartoon from the 90s
My wife definitely agrees. Me to of course. Merger of the blues, jazz, rock and roll and rhythm and blues. Now they just shout at each other - no beat, no screaming guitar, no horns, piano, organ, or girls with tambourines. Take care.

Un ancien du rock and rolls, le plaisir à écouter pour les nouvelles générations de musiciens en herbe
Damn, British '70's blues. So much good stuff back then, and on AM radio! Those were the days.
Can’t get enough of this one. Love the way it’s done first a story to some kick ass rock and roll. Gotta love it.

agree dawgnana
65 year old here and for me the best music was from the 60s through the 80s. Rock ain't dead yet!
yes
YES!
The band with Elton John , Ronny Wood , Mick Waller , Madeline Bell and produced by Rod Stewart and Elton can't be forgoten...
As a rocknroll DJ in the 70's, I heard this and thought, well that's pretty great...still think so today...how's that for stayin' power: Hats off to ya, Mr. Baldry!
The way he brakes from storyteller to rocker is truly classic
Yessss
Oh ya baby. Such a great opening eh.
"Breaks", but yeah, it's awesome. 😁👍
3:10
It is!! Exit Stage Left... Did Someone mention " boogie woogie" ??
A buddy of mine introduced me to this album in 76.
I was hooked immediately
2024 and still LOVE IT !!!! Love, Love, Love !?!?!✨✌️✨✌️✨❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm 71 now. Bought this album when it first came out. My ex has it now, or at least had it. These days I have a streaming copy and still listen to it. All I can say is, "Thanks for the entertainment!"
Elvis himself actually heard this and LOVED it haha. His stepbrothers showed this to him, then he would sing it around the house.

I'm 65 and the first I heard this, was in 1971. And I still CRANK IT UP LOUD.
Yeah..this was played as a deep cut on FM radio in the early 70's...
Same here... I think I first heard it on "Beaker Street" KAAY.
Me too....love that Boogieee, woogiee american african music.. goddamm... I looked for this song for 1000 fucking yrs..😅😅
I can picture Robotnik crusing in his Egg-O-Matic singing this Awesome Song.
Perfect to listen to while trying to get that hedgehog

Many don't realize that Rod Stewart was a back-up singer in LJB's band as well.
One of the best blues singers you never heard of. So under rated. His music is timeless.
I've heard of him as have all of the people in the comments section. Don't be condescending, fool.
Depends on where you lived. He was pretty well known in many places.
I graduated high school in 70'. Time for Viet Nam !! and must add here that Crow did a fantastic version in 70' Baldry came a year later in 71' Loved em both
70 years old, and I still love this. First hear it in '73, when FM was new.
They just don't make em like this anymore, a big tribute to my late husband Tim Doyle and the late great John Baldry! 👍😁♥️♥️♥️♥️
great piece.... play it as loud as you can... you won't be able to sit still -:)))) I owe this wonderful energetic CD
I just looked at my old record collection..Alas..John Baldry..I LOVE this song!!!
I heard this exactly once on campus radio, c. 1971-72. But I never forgot it!
This song is 50 years old now and it still sounds as good as it did when I first heard it in '72! Maybe even better!
Like a great wine .Rock you're world

Always loved this tune. When the band kicks in... WOW!
My brother bought this album for me when I was around 15 years old. I'm 63 and still have it.
I saw him in a small place in St-Hyacinthe quebec beginning of the seventies and he was awesome. Agreat artist !!!
the first time I heard this on the radio...I listened to the story...and when he said the words... "dont try to lay no boogie woogie on the king of rock and roll"...and the music started...THAT WAS IT! THATS THE STUFF I BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!
Then I found Motown and rag ...picked up a bass and never looked back...
Kinda hard not to jump up off the couch and start dancin’ like no one’s watchin’ when you hear good ol’ Long John Baldry laying it down....
Music was true talent in those days. Gotta love it!
No shot
I had a collection of vinls back in the
THIS is EXACTLY what I was looking for today.
WMMR, FM 93.3 > Philadelphia, PA Summer of1969 I first heard this tune. Always stuck with me, Boogie Woogie, that is !
One of the great, unique songs from the 70s. He never got popular, but musicians knew him.
Elton and Rod played with him in Steampacket
@@ianprest3850 You probably already know this, but Elton John named himself after Long John Baldry. And in the LJB song "Can't Judge a Book", he references Rod Stewart by singing "Can't judge Rod Stewart by looking at his nose..". Just an awesome, awesome man.
The best UN- known artist of all time. This song confirms it.✌️
Everyone in the UK knows of him.
Elvis would sometimes sing this song around Graceland!
He's somewhat of a legend in Toronto
A whisper of "I hate that hedgehog" is heard in my ear
@@rigelmoon9030 And some of us hip guys in the US.
One of my favorites!
DAMN He was GREAT. I’m going on 70.
I worked with John and loved hearing his stories. He was the essence of 'cool'. This song defines him. Rod and Elton can testify.
So so cool all of those guys
Just heard him & been rocking all my 79 yrs⚡️Love it
Write a book! I'll buy it. :)
Thought you might like to know that Elvis would sometimes sing this song around Graceland while walking around.
@@christophertyler6863 That's fantastic. Thank you. :D
They got us in the first half, not gonna lie.
Got us in the second half, too. 😁
I was at the (Gardens) vancouver British Columbia in 1971 LJ Baldry,Fleetwood Mac n Savoy Brown, best concert Ever, I was 15 yrs young then, anyone else there?
Saw LJB at Eel Pie in the 60s. A charming, amusing, talented man. Everybody loved him.
I dont always listen to Long John Baldry but when I do so do my neighbors!
great quote and well appreciated
Gotta like it!
Robert your giving them a musical education
That's a breach of the peace
Yesssss

Man did we play this thing to death after a few (?) bourbons on the rocks!!!!! Great story, music and voice!

My friends and I would load up and turn this song on. And as Long John would be nearing the end of his narrative, we would turn up the reciever a notch at a time, and then full blast when John kicked into singing. That's how you started the party. Neighbors loved us and of course Mom and Dad weren't home at the time. Great talent John was, and Rod Stewart and Elton John weren't too bad either as members of the band.
Just the kind of song you want to do as a rockin bar band like I used to play in... awww, memories!
When this song kicks in, the hairs on the back of me neck stand up. This absolutely rules
My neighbor threw a brick through my window so he could hear it louder. 😂
When the drummer hits the snare to kick off the tune I get goosebumps and my gut tightens up, man that's Rock and Roll!!
Yes indeed,it hits me way deep down and goose bumps too. I first heard it while driving,I got so excited I darn near pulled over. WHEW!🙏😷🎶🎵❗👀
Johnny.. you to?
Mick Waller was the drummer. His “Waller Wallop” kicks off the tune.
I only wish that I hadn't traded this lp for a Kinks lp a bunch of years ago
You nailed
If it wasn't for music like this, I wouldn't be alive! [75]
Stairway to heaven, Freebird. and Don't Try To Lay No Boogie Woogie On The King Of Rock And Roll
Wow. Just wow.
Exactly what I needed to get these old bones moving this morning.

I still got the vinyl record - be well x
dont forget proff. longhair and some james booker yeah
Got to play guitar for the Russel road shows great choice
Me too!
First time listening to this in my old Ford, I swore out loud when he dropped intro the full song. I didn’t see it coming but a split second before the drop and it sent me hard
I also bought this back in the day, one of my favs.
I don't always listen to Boogie Woogie music , but when I do - - it always makes my day
Awesome.❤❤
Saw him twice in Victoria BC and both times were awesome!
Crescendo. One of the best in rock and roll.
Słuchałem tego blues'a wiele razy. To jest super dzieło. Pozdrowienia z Warszawy, Polska
This has aged so well since 1971 when I first heard this track! Love it!
Unbelievable.......F'ing awesome
We remember it well !
The first time I heard this tune, it became both my mantra and my battle cry.
I heard this in 1971 when I was 22, now I'm 72 and this is still a kick ass song.
Outa high school in 71. Got a high lottery number for the draft. Heading my butt to San Jose City College. Remember hearing this on the car radio; All I knew for sure was I didn't understand what this music was about, but I loved it, and needed better speakers for my VW bug
Don't try to lay no boogie boogie on the king of rock and roll. One hot track from John Baldry. He's right. It ain't easy. But it's a he'll of a lot of fun!!!!!!!!!
