- OK folks, this one's an absolute BEAST of a sax-blasting instrumental! The great Joe Houston (Born July 11, 1926) is 85 now and although he suffered a stroke in 2005, he's still playing whenever possible. I hope he's able to get back to his former glory and continue rocking. This one's from 1956 and may be his finest work. Joe Houston is truly a wicked awesome talent!
What a great, underrated tune. My mom called it Johnny One Note, but she wasn't a musician, and still she liked it. It's on my oldies pay list and a classic in my book.
My moms favorite! She could move! And loved her oldies! Mom just passed away last Sunday March 6th, im sitting in my backyard now with a beer and playing her favorites!😢, Please pray for my mom Velia.
So sorry for your loss, Vince! Absolutely heartbreaking! I will pray for her and you and your family. Definitely a wicked awesome song!
We're listening to this still today my papa & I 👌🏽🎶
That's awesome! Music like this NEVER gets old!
YES!!!
Absolutely incredible legend!
@@redbosox Yes indeed!
@@rockandrollsax Definitely one of my favorites!
This is the theme to my weekly oldies show.
That's an AWESOME theme to have! I will definitely check out your weekly oldies show. Is it posted on your RUclips page or somewhere else?
@@redbosox Many years ago. But the memories are forever.
@@frankp3 Amen to that brother!
This mush have torn the roof off in ’56. Joe was a great talent and ahead of his time. Thanks so much.
JOE GAVE ME AN AUTOGRAPHED 78 OF THIS SONG.
Thanks for sharing this AWESOME song, Deborah! I'm so glad he's still with us and still going today. That's AWESOME to hear about you getting an autographed 78 of this legendary hit!
This reminded me of the 1962 great jazz movie, "All Night Long".
I definitely need to see that movie!
Is that the Richard Attenbororugh one, with dave Brubeck in the band, and Johnny Dankworth onsax?
@@PaulRusling ; Yeah, Patrick McGoohan on drums, and Mingus on bass.
Wish I could find "Cornbread and Cabbage Greens" like the album cover states. I use to have the 78RPM in our home as a kid but its long gone. It was a real rocker.
If you can't dance to this......you can't dance!
You got that right!
Thank you Josh!
Anytime, my friend!
I used to have the album whose cover we see at about 1:20 back when it came out. I played it again and again and again. I doubt anyone can put it better than the uploader who called it " an absolute BEAST of a sax-blasting instrumental!" except to add that back in the 50s we would have to capitalize SAX BLASTING. It REALLY did BLAST out of those speakers and no one, or certainly not me, had ever heard anything like that before. Which is not to say it does not sound as great and powerful today as it did then.
+gnikcohs I wish I could have experienced the best era of life personally. I should have been born in 1938 and grown up in the 1950s. Great music, great cars, and only one income to make ends meet. It is nice to be able to keep the memory of such great music alive though.
played with Joe 15 years ago, he was crazy funny all the while trying to be serious a true to the letter entertainer
+D.P. Singh That is absolutely wicked awesome, D.P.! VERY cool! That's definitely one to pass down through generations. People need to know more about the awesomeness of the late, great Joe Houston. He was truly a legend.
used to hear this a lot on huggy boy...cranked it up and cruised
Oh yes! Huggy Boy was awesome and so was Joe Houston! I need a time machine to send me back to the days of true awesomeness.
this music my sisters n brothers they dance alot lot of fun all of them 11 of us
That's AWESOME to hear, Tillie! This is definitely the good stuff!
Rock n Roll All night long I dig this man real cool daddy O
+RAJEN ODEDRA Thanks Rajen! This is what REAL rhythm and blues is all about, my friend!
Great stuff! Got my first sax in 1958 (Buescher 400 TH&C) and I'm still playin' this number!!
Hey Joshua I love it I'm a Elvis fan and I really dig rhythm and blues Thank you ,Thank you very much.
+RAJEN ODEDRA Thank you for listening and for the awesome compliment! Elvis was awesome! He listened to a lot of blues and rhythm blues growing up. He had a great ear for music and did an awesome job bringing that music to the masses.
yes I did enjoy it.
I am very jealous of you. I never got the chance to see him in person.
Joe played around the little clubs here in our area (So CAl) in the 80s
+Steveo Musicman That's awesome to hear! I'll bet you enjoyed that!
+Steveo Musicman where or what th hell is So CAI????
Steveo A lesson in geography for you. SoCal constists of area of California that extends from Santa Barbara to San Diego the population is approximately 30 million The southern border is the country of Mexico
speaking of Los Angles area...hope that narrows it down.
Steveo Musicman it
great artist, RIP
+in wino veritas Definitely a very sad loss.
i agree
in wino veritas
Through fans like us, his memory and music will live on forever.
that's true
Wicked awesome? You must be from New England brother! Love ya!
YES!
This was the opening song on the Dick Hugg.Huggy Boy Show onKRKD radio back in the early 50s. I believe he closed the show with Harlem Nocturne.😎
I saw Roland Kirk jam with the Mothers of Invention on this song at the Boston Globe Jazz Festival a million years ago.
Tom, that must have been AWESOME!
Joshua Baker Beyond far beyond awesome, out-of-body, I couldn't believe this drama was unfolding right before me.
Tom, I am very jealous of you.
Joshua Baker Kirk played before them, but when the Mothers came out and started their warm-up-tweeting schtick he came bopping back out with his guide man and all three saxes, ready to go, Frank kicked the band straight back to El Monte and off they all went!
Man that is awesome!
Totally Bad ass
I couldn't agree more!
@RetroTony1959 Tony, I'm almost certain that I have Cornbread And Cabbage Greens on my external hard drive. A friend of mine hooked me up with a ton of Joe Houston's music years back. I will be sure to post it on here when I get a chance just for you.
@redbosox Wow, if you could post it that would be GREAT!!. I haven't heard it since the mid 70's and I believe it broke as me and my uncles were drinking and got careless with the records. Those 78's were so fragile. lol I sure hope you find it and I greatly appreciate it.
Peace
Two Kenny G fans give this the thumbs down! . FIGURES!!
+foxfive Kenny G is OK, but Joe Houston is a LEGEND.
+Joshua Baker who is Kenny G?? i'm assuming, that this is a completely talentless musician, but who exactly is this? i only know him as a methaphor for bad musician and as a negative comparison for other artists!
very astute, Kenny G couldnt carry Joe Houston's saxaphone case. Kenny G is okay ? Are you nuts?
i just don't know him, sorry
+in wino veritas +foxfive Compared to Joe Houston, Red Prysock, Big Jay McNeely, Jimmy Cavallo, Louis Jordan, Hal "Cornbread" Singer, and Jimmy Wright, Kenny G ain't shit. I guess I'm trying to be nice. It's sad that many people are more familiar with Kenny G than with the seven legends that I just mentioned. I'm glad you guys recognize greatness too.
July 11, 1926-December 28, 2015
+jzzlvrmee Oh no! So sorry to hear that! Thanks for letting me know. What a VERY sad loss. Thankfully he did live a good, long life.
El Monte Legion Stadium 1950s
That's awesome! I had no idea!
Tony, I'm trying to respond back. I will do what I can for you ASAP. It's a GREAT tune! Sad to hear about the 78 though. Bummer!
@Herve1955 Aw yeah!!! No doubt about it!
Does anybody know who composed "All night long" by Joe Houston?
On the record it indicates Gray in parenthesis. The composer is a man named John Gray. I gotta admit, I haven't heard of him before. Time for some research.
The Tops LP L1518 is mine. The autograph on the back is to me it says 2Albey and then Joe signed it. We worked with him many times and even did a tour of the South East with him. Played this song with him every night he played with us. This version of the song is not the one on the Tops record it is this one and in my opinion this one is even better. Both kick ass though. ruclips.net/video/NNvL7dmsaR4/видео.html
That is totally wicked awesome, Albey!
Not the One Note Samba. The One Note Blues.
***** I will have to look for that one.
In the history of one-note saxophone riffs this occupies a crucial role - it comes after The Woodchoppers Ball, after the One Note Samba (not that most of the world had heard it yet, pre-Getz/pre-Jobim), but just before Rock Around The Clock.
I wonder: was anyone else who heard Zappa's version first disappointed that the original had no "contact the rhythm section...!" spoken introduction?
vinyl
+Rocco Salerno The original sound. Nice!
