I saw him live at St. Andrews University back in the mid 1970's, he was fantastic! Been a fan ever since.

Brilliant talent who also was instrumental in bringing other talented people to our attention 😎

I wish there were some recordings of Long John at Les Cousins Club in Soho.
He was a completely different act, accompanying himself on guitar. His natural voice has a good timbre and a great vocal range.

Agreed! Would be great to have some of his early Roundhouse Pub gigs from 1957 too. He did record a small set of songs in 1958, one track is sampled on his last album. They’ve never seen the light of day in their entirety sadly.

Cool blues!

Long John is very much a ladies man. Still touring.

He died in 2005.

Long John Baldry was gay. Well discussed in the Elton John autobiography.
Saw him in 1971 - great performance.
