My beloved fathers favorite song. When it came on in the 60s on the radio he would pull over & dance around the car with 5 of us kids laughing so hard we cried & mom shaking her head.
When you think of the best memories of your life I bet this one is near the top.
That's awesome. Sounds like something I'd do.
Your dad was awesome 👍🏾👊🏽
I regret to bring you sad news that Barefootin' singer Robert Parker died on January 19, 2020 at the age of 89. Thank you Robert for the music and the memories. You will be greatly missed.
RIP.
Saw Robert Parker in the late 60's at the Frolikin Kneecap in Market Harborough. He will be missed, but his music lives on!
Sad news indeed. Well, at 89 he lived pretty well. Nevertheless, what a shame that life cannot last longer - especially keeping us in an acceptable physical condition. Barefooting excited and attracted several artists, but Parker has the original and most flamboyant version. Being helped by this beautiful green barefoot dancing girl. Pure nature, pure charm !Yves
Regret to hear of his passing. I was also going to Google to see is was still alive. But at 89 he live a Long life. I always wondered who sang this song, I have always loved this song. But I was a little disappointed, to hear the song, in my head I was seeing some smiling and having fun with the song. But he was just straight faced, no smiling, no having fun with it. But I still love the song. And him singing it, he did a good job with it.
That's so sad. Thank you you Robert. You made me smile. RIP
A Great Entertainer Gone But Never Forgotten.
Rest in peace Mr.Robert Parker October 14, 1930 - January 19, 2020
I was crazy about this song when it was on the charts in '66 and it remains one of my favorites. Such a "catchy" beat.
That guitar is smoking i was digging this as a elementary aged kid..that baritone sax is kicking too
Me too! I was 9 years old and I was addicted to this song. By then the song was already decades old though.
Guitarist looks like Gatemouth Brown.
Who is that guitar player wild
This song never goes out of style always will live on.
Vladimir Putin's fav song..
It’s a fun song.
Yes I agree 💯 1966,year I was born 💖
The lyrics are well written and captivating, exposing at once in the 1st verse the contrast in behavior between staying a passive listener in one’s seat and ”getting on our feet”, body in motion.
Then I love the way he connects his ‘infectious’ song with other R’n’B classics, Little Richard’s ”Long Tall Sally” making a remarked appearance in verse 2, while the intriguing ”girl with the red dress on” from Ray Charles’s ”What’d I say” is also present in verse 3, letting it all hang out and barefootin’ too! :)
And he wraps it up with a ”Boy meets Girl” last verse with a fresh turn-around (she’s been barefootin’ since age 2, buddy!).
Indeed it can never go out of style with such infectious and well-played r’n’b music and so much wit in the lyrics! Hail, hail, Robert Parker, passed away at a respectable age, but yes, living on among us with this little masterpiece! \o/
Man ! That’s the stuff right there !! Having grown in North Louisiana and a teenager in the early 1960s..Soul and Rhythm-n-blues was predominantly influential…All the local bands rocked this style with the Wicked Picket and Joe Tex….Thanks for sharing…I did sing along as I did when 14…and of course we did the the dance, the Mashed Potato and the dance floor standard. The Pony…oh and FYI we grew up going bare footed all summer the minute school as out…”WE’RE BARE FOOTIN’ “ !
I sure loved this song as a kid in the 60's. Remember dancing around with my siblings to this great tune.
I was 11 in 1966.. I HAVE LOVED this song since then..honest to goodness..rest in peace Robery..thank you for wonderful memories of this song.....I remember I had the 45..wow those were the best of times...
I still have the 45rpm disk on Ron Records. My father bowled with someone who worked there. They let me into the stock room and said take what you want. So I have early 45s by Irma Thomas, Prof. Longhair, Bobby Mitchell, Eddie Bo and others on the Ric and Ron labels.
What an outstanding song. You just gotta get up and dance…outstanding. RIP Mr. Parker…you brought joy to the world.
Rest in peace Mr Parker barefooting was a great hit your music will live on forever
I MISS THE 60S THIS SONG WAS A NUMBER 1 HIT ON WMCA RADIO
RIP MR. PARKER .. 1-20-2020 at 89 years old . Great song sir , Great song ..
Man, do I remember this song from my youth 👍🏻🥰‼️
I have not thought of this song for years. I love it....
Me neither. Not until I started "grounding."😂
Rest in peace Robert Parker Louisiana boy now barefoot'n in God's Kingdom may God Rest his soul what a great song
Robert Parker a great singer and song back in 1966, and also year I was born.
Yeah Baby! I bought this record when it hit in '66. Great! And, yeah, The Beat! with LAC's DJ Hoss Allen - great Nashville R&B/Blues station, which is still going but is now "talk radio" (what a come down!). Right about Gatemouth Brown as band leader and Billy Cox on bass. Although the 335 Gibson cat looks and moves like Freddy/Freddie King, I don't think so - he's not wearing his gtr strap over his right shoulder and is using a flat pick. Also, this song is sync'd - not live, but perfectly done. Robert is still with us at 89 yrs (!) And...the chick in the green is great - actually doing the Mashed Potatoes, but with some foot modifications. Cool show and a cool clip
The guitarist that is playing the 335 is Johnny Jones.
Danny C actually, there’s a couple of tunes from the same date in which both Freddie and this guy appear; this guy has an ES with a Bigsby, Freddie’s playing a stop-tail. Also, Freddie had funkier looking hair...
Love the go-go boots!!
That’s some cool guitar baby!
Have not danced like this for 40 years. Still wish I could.
What the hell...go for it
Old school music. Love it.
I love the outfits the GoGo dancers are wearing!😍
This was one of my favorite songs to dance to.
Kick ass song, one of the best ✌🏻❤️✌🏻❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Can believe I heard this song in the late 1960 playing my uncle Kenny basement record down in the den I'm 61 years old Dec 11 1958 WOW !
Oh yeah loved this song for years honestly you can't hear this and not want to dance without any shoes makes me smile every time I hear it if my kids don't play this at my funeral I don't wanna go
Actually in the 60s particular 1966 the girls in my neighborhood used to walk around barefoot so it was a common thing not anymore what memories this great song by Robert Parker from the year 1966 barefoot thanks for the memories
Yeah I do remember them barefootin days, I stepped on a lot of glass because I was barefootin back then. I was only just little kid at the time. Lol!
Rest in peace Mr. Parker and thank you for entertaining the world. Your beloved city of New Orleans remembers you!
sniff,. sniff.. will be greatly missed for his music brought those sock hops alive in schools and parties.. May he rest in peace.. Heart-felt condolences to all his loved ones, family and frenz who knew him.
Super wow!
Great piece of music Rhythm and Blues!
"A few months after their triumph at Roosevelt High, the Jackson
Five won the Annual Talent Search. Once again Michael stole the
show.
His moment of glory came during the boys’ rendition of the Robert
Parker hit, “Barefootin’,” on which Michael sang lead. During the
instrumental break, he suddenly kicked off his shoes and did the
darnedest barefoot dance around the stage." - Katherine Jackson
The first song I learned to play drums on rip Mr Robert Parker October 14 1930 Jan 19 2020
Amazing to see these iconic artists performing at the height of their success & IN COLOUR TOO! Thanks for sharing this great rare content.
Love the sax&guitar fun barefootin on the beach
Good old days and music.
Fabulous.
I was 5 Living in Chicago When this Song came Out in 66 on Chicago's WVON.
Home of The Cool Gent, and Butterball, right?
Great singer song,yr I was born.
A long forgotten youth club soul tune, thanks for posting :-)
Great song! Rest in paradise!
Just a wonderful song. It greatly influenced me writing a more blues oriented song for The Inputs with is also posted on RUclips. Robert Parker was a legend to me. I virtually wore out this single...
I love the guitar on this one, perfect bluesy fills between Robert's cool vocal delivery.
Steve Ajao
I noticed that too; helped this cut flow, and become a monster hit.
That's Clarence gatemouth Brown.
Excellent, excellent comment, and geet play’n!
When "Bare Footin'" was released, I was trying to teach myself guitar, but I struggled with different rock and roll styles. THEN, I heard "Bare Footin' on the radio of my 1956 Mercury, while I was crusing down Hwy 99 in Central California. My search for "The Sound" was over! That magical blend of rock, blues, and soul was everything I wanted. Eventually I got my hands on a red Gibson 335 guitar, and started playing "The Sound" professionally for the next 20 years, thanks to that querky, rhythm and blues tune, "Bare Footin'."
This song came on the radio today and at first I thought it was Chuck Berry but knew it wasn't quite right.
Great song.
I love dancing to this song, the dancers are gorgeous.😎
I remember this song when I was a kid 😬 WOW... I'm old!
My Song
&
He Still Alive
God
Bless
Him
Mr.Robert Parker passed away on January 19, 2020 May he rest in peace
RIP Robert Great song from 1966 Remember it well
Amazing how one song can touch so many people in the world and make them smile!
Thanks a million and blessings and rewards.
The girl in green is really bustin a move!!
Remember this is 66; before her time.
@gloria hodge She was a bare-footin:)
@Zenon Antruzinon She sure was a bare-footin:)
She was a go go girl.
It's a dance called the mash potato.
One of the legends that started it all
Loved it way back when, still do !!!!!!!!!!!!
Robert Parker,a great singer,and song,year I was born.May Robert Parker,RIP.
I remember this song from over 50 years ago. I think I was about six or seven years old.
i remember dancing to this at The Del Rio in Walsall in 66
I didn’t know he had passed. May he Rest In Peace. Although we were separated by 22 years, I’ve been asked many times before a show “ did you write that song barefootin’?” I smile, but never have been tempted to lie, so I say “no, I don’t sing, that was the famous Robert Parker.” He made all us Robert Parkers proud.
Still love this song remember my older brothers music one of my favorites if I feel a little low changes my attitude every time makes me so happy yeah you gotta take off your shoes...
The go-go dancers are cute; great legs.
RIP Robert Parker. Beautiful man.
This takes me back to 1966 to the Top Rank Watford High Street - along with Harlem Shuffle - don't know why those two particular tracks stood out (other than how great they are) but I used to go out dancing five nights a week all over the place. Fantastic days.
WOW - great footage. Robert Parker was amazing
Heard this song years ago as a child when my mom used to play it great song and the woman in the green dress looks like she's having fun "barefooting"
She has ugly feet!
O boy this was a absolutely awesome tune back then great cruising music and singing along with my my 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍
I remember this song from my childhood in the sixties.
This is one fantastic track I love it ❤
I wish I could be there at that time , so sweet !!!
nicolas palis
Exactly; the go-go girls were hot, yet left something to the imagination.
Great song, great performance from Parker & The Gang. Gosh... the girl in green is blowing my socks off !!!!
Well...you’re supposed to be bare footin

I was glued to the lead guitar riffs and baritone sax bringing up the rear.

"Everybody get barefooted! Take off your shoes!''

That's a great song
I remember watching this live! Black and white tv though. We all got up and danced. Next day at school we were dancing at recess, everyone was singing it. It was hot!
It's not hot, when there's no sun out
I sure see how those New Orleans singers influenced us Motor City singers.
💯😎♥️good music 🎶‼️
First time I saw this video, ILOVE it
wow that video brings back memories Robert Parker your barefootin from 1966 great year great time thank you Robert
Can’t stop watching!
Absolutely great more more
That’s Billy Cox playing bass in the video! He was Jimi Hendrix’s bass player before and after Jimi’s fame! He was working in the studio at this time doing the TV show in 1966! 3 years later he would join Hendrix at Woodstock and beyond! He and Jimi met at Ft. Campbell while in the US Army in 1961! A true bond between friends! Musically they meshed perfectly!
I remember him and the song. Great singer, band, dancer too...
Bloody brilliant
60s dances was the biggest crazes ever replaced by disco in the 70s
The Young folks don't know nothing about barefoot and white go-go boots that was the best time of my life
No school like the old school..🎤🎵🎼🎶❤️
Yes we were barefootin' all night long
For sure!😅
First heard this song at the Russell City Blues festival by local singer. Everyone loved it.
Today 9/10/23 is the birthday of one of the late producers of this song.
Beryl Whurley Burley Eugene Sr. (86)
Happy Heavenly birthday pops
From son Beryl Jr.
I remember hearing this song in some of the "Spic 'n' Span" commercials back in the early 1980's. What can I say? Robert Parker is a genius at songwriting and music arranging!
The Lady in the Green is Bare Footin.....
I was 15 yrs old when this song was released and determined to play it on guitar, but it drove my Texas family crazy LOL!
What style so cool x
I was trying to rememeber this song for the last hour FINALLYYYYY !!!!! I Typed in rock8n roll shoes , no shoes boogie lol 🤣
The announcer at the start of the clip was the immortal Bill "The Hossman" Allen of the famous WLAC, Nashville R&B nighttime radio crew (1946-74).
How is he immortal when he is dead?
He lives on through RUclips.
MAN, I wish I had rhythm. This song TRULY makes you wanna just jump around
