- Martin Young reported on a thriving musical scene at the Black Raven Pub, where the regulars disputed that rock and roll ever died.
'The Raven' was the main London pub for Teddy Boys during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Punters, along with local rock and roll stars Marty Wilde and Billy Fury, reminisce about the days they're aiming to keep alive.

1974 was the year of the rock & roll revival bands, like Showaddywaddy and Mud.
1972 was the start of it all - a Wembley show with many of the 50s-60s stars. 1974 was when charts became aware of it (even earlier, because of Alvin Stardust).
@@YeOldeFootballChannel There seems to have been a lot of 50s nostalgia on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1970s - American Graffiti, Grease, Happy Days. Being only at primary school at the time I was fascinated by what seemed ancient history to me. Radio 1 had a nostalgia programme on Sundays (presented by someone who will be nameless) featuring the records of 10 and 20 years earlier, and I remember being thrilled by ITV reshowing an old Granada programme "Don't Knock the Rock" with Gene Vincent, Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard.
@@YeOldeFootballChannel It started earlier in North America. The kick starter was the Toronto Rock 'n Roll Festival in September 1969, with performances by Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Gene Vincent. Capitol Records capitalized on the concert by releasing the Gene Vincent's Greatest! compilation that year. The following summer the Everly Brothers got a summer replacement series on a major television network accompanied by two double LPs of their 1950s recordings for Cadence records. In 1971, United Artists created its Legendary Masters Series which gave us double LP compilations from Fats Domino, Ricky Nelson, Eddie Cochran and The Coasters. MCA honoured us with a double album of seminal Buddy Holly tunes in 1972. However, there was more to the revival than just re-issues. Dave Edmunds had a world-wide hit in 1970 with his re-working of I Hear You Knocking and Chuck Berry finally had his first USA #1 in 1972 with My Ding-A-Ling.
Love this, even though I wasn't around in the 1970s and 1960s.
First time in over ten years I've been startled by anybody's appearance. 3:09
He looks like an Oompa Loompa
The presenter Martin Young is best known for being one of two journalists who started the remarkable Rough Justice series. Unfortunately they came a cropper when their 'journalistic methods' became public. Still a well-known face from the 70s and 80s though.
Yep.
I remember he was accused of blackmail. Lord Lane described his modus operandi as 'outrageous'.
I can't recall if he was actually convicted and sent to prison.
@@mickeydodds1 - That's a good question. I don't think he did, but I recall the Beeb disciplined him, and that effectively killed his career. I also believe that was the reason David Jessel then took over the reins of Rough Justice.
My Dad was there when it came back but he said it never went away. He is still a teddy boy to this day. He's 63 😊. Oh what has Billy Fury done? Was he meant to be that colour? 😂
I was part of the Teddy Boy revival back in the 70s. My dad was an original 50s Ted, so I was already into the music and was wearing a drape jacket to school at the age of 12...fun days.
It wasn't only here that it was happening in 1974. There's some footage on RUclips of Czechoslovakia's Karel Gott, accompanied by Jana Kocianová and Jitka Zelenková, doing a 'Rock Around The Clock' number on the show 'Zpívá Karel Gott' ('Karel Gott Sings'). As a somewhat after-the-fact Northern Soul fan, being around that time a bit of a Heavy Rock fan, if anything, I was a bit knocked to one side by that 'Tamla Toytown' jibe. I don't mind a good bit of Rock 'n' Roll myself and, for that matter, Jitka Zelenková's sometime Divadlo Rokoko (Rococo Theatre) colleague, Valérie Čižmárová was clearly a fan of both Rock 'n' Roll and Soul. At any rate, thanks for this uploading from the classic years of 'Nationwide', which was a huge part of my childhood and teenage years.
The one group of people,I notice, that never seem to shake off their teenage years are the Teds. They’re still telling us Elvis isn’t dead and theirs is the only music and every now and then it pops back into the music stream in some shape or form.
Not sure about the crepe sole shoes,drainpipes and the DA though.
3:09 Holy Bronze Batman
I remember the teddies.
And their picnics.
Down in the woods.
You were sure for a big surprise!
Your mama is a s lag😂
3:09 is that a spray on tan ? He’s more Orange than Donald Trump
Funnily enough, no. Billy Fury spent most of his time smoking weed in the Bahamas, for health reasons..
That presenter wasn't even 30.
The bad haircut and the oaty brown suit doesn’t help matters 😂
Alan partridge vibes.
@@algrant5293 - Oaty brown suit... LOL!
They were quite trendy back in the day. 😄
@@algrant529350 years from now people will laugh and say that about what you're wearing today .....
Now he’s arse end of 80.
Well even the modern day Rock/Hard-Rock and Heavy Metal are a continuation of Rock 'n' Roll , and there always be a crowd for loud and rough music 😁
Oh to be alive 50 years ago
I was!
Just means I'm over 50 now. Damn...
50 years ago rock n roll was retro: it was all glam rock in Britain in 1974 with bands like Sweet and Marc Bolan, Bowie ....
And then in ‘79 Margaret Thatcher came along…& suddenly millions of youngsters were on the ‘rock n roll’ 😉
In 1979 most were on the rock 'n dole
Rock Rock Rock the world oh ho ho
Strange to think at the time of this recording British rock n roll was only 15 + years old.
I'm way too young for all this 50's/60's rocker scene stuff (good luck to 'em though) but I see Martin Young's got THAT suit on again and I wouldn't mess with Vince Young.
So are drainpipe trousers just tight ones, or does the term have another meaning? Also why are teddy boys called that?
So once his career faltered Billy got a job as an umpa lumpa .
I still have a copy of "that'll be the day", thanks auntie Dorothy. Edit, the film soundtrack
3:09 that dudes been tangoed
they didn't realise it then but the 60's was the greatest music era ever
Showaddywaddy! 4:06 The presenter gives his age away. he is 27, he looks like he is in his late 40s!
🤯
Teds!😮
Every trend gets a second wind. Just like the 90's revival at the moment.
Creepy ending it has to be said
We are standing here on the banks of the Mississippi...
Is there life on mars.
There was, but it turned into Ashes to Ashes...
Brilliant. Not a Bame in sight 👍
I ride push bike weather permitting
Fury…NO!!!
I miss this music and dancing, wish I was born earlier, music and dancing these days are crap, and men are not men anymore
Come and live with me and I'll happily spend all my time in the pub and take you out every Saturday night, as long as my tea is on the table when I come home and you refuse to talk to my male friends.
No and some of the women ain't women either!
