Tim Rose is laid to rest in Brompton Cemetery, London. Sadly his grave is very neglected without a headstone. A recent visit by Unusual Things ( Paul) filmed in 2023 is available on RUclips. Rest in Peace Tim ✝️
I have heard countless versions. This performance captivated me, I was hanging on every verse as it was the first time . That is the way it is done right there!
I put him on at my tiny venue in 2001. I got to watch him play this with my son on my knee. He gave the same quality of performance and was an utter statesman. Bless his memory
in the 60s in the uk every band famous or just a school band playedMORNING DEW and it's a crime that TIM ROSE never had a number one with perhaps the greatest song ever written and the best version
I am a great fan of Hendrix as an artist, exposed to him when I was 12 years old. Loved his Hey Joe, didnt know until today this man performed it. Heard Tim Rose for the first time today, thinking it was by Hendrix till I viewed a video on him and Clapton. Im 59. Loved his performance of it. NOT THIS ONE THOUGH another one when he was younger in black and white. It was more soulful, less dramatic less hollering version. This is just an awesome song. And they lady and the song they say this was taking from I heard for the first time today also. That song can't compare to this, whether it was the reason this came to be, I thank her for the inspiration, or theft that led to it's making.
I watched a BBC program called Heir Hunters and they had to trace Tim's family and beneficiary's after he died. This was on the program and it instantly hit me, I love this version and although Tim is sadly no longer with us his music will still live on. RIP Tim
Well,everybody claims they authored Hey Joe,I dont think it is a ripoff,they sound differently to me.I guess chord progression is the same.Otherwise she would sue him..
Look it up … Rose may have copyrighted a rearranged version But didn’t write it!! Originally it draws from 2 pre - existing songs . Niela Horn re questioning style & chords & progression and Pete Seeger appeared in court to support her writing it her. Her boyfriend had taken it over and passed it on to …. Valenti . And Billy Roberts provided the story Lyrics etc … Others really just jumped into copyright it or rearrange it for copyright first so had legal claims over the originals
I don't really know too much about this song polemic story, but I really love the way this man just need an acoustic guitar to move me. This is talent.
this is the best acoustic version I think i have ever heard and i think every guitar player in the world has played this song at one time or another. the story is also very interesting too. thanks for this great video.
@@RichACBlues Billy Roberts didn’t cover Hendrix version. The song had already been copyrighted by Billy Roberts in 1962 years before Hendrix had ever heard the song. That’s a fact. Then California garage rock band ‘The Leaves’ popularized the song when they recorded a sped up version of the song in 1965 which became a minor radio hit in 1966. Then Hendrix recorded his version later on in 1966 not long after Tim Rose recorded and released his version in 1966. The origin of the song can actually be traced back to Billy Roberts’ girlfriend Niela Horn Miller who recorded “Baby, Please Don’t Go To Town” around 1958, which Billy Roberts then stole from Miller, changing it somewhat and titling it “Hey Joe” in 1962, and legally copyrighted the song in 1962 without giving his girlfriend even partial credit. ruclips.net/video/BEK2EDqxpcY/видео.html
A great Billy Roberts/Niela Miller classic. Very impressive version. To bad those 2 couldn't collaborate any further together, Would have been something, to hear, we've, unfortunately, missed out on all these decades past.
If they "collaborated" both names would be on the song. But from listening to both it sounds like bronco Billy rode out with her song while she was at the bar flirting with some other guys, which could be why he added the certain angry lyrics to her music.
@@South3West77 If so it was a one and done because Billy Roberts was also married to somebody in 1962 and rode out West to Reno to get a divorce. After moving to California around 1964 his friend Dino Valenti stole the song and sold it to the Leaves and anyone else willing to buy it, must have been many considering how many recordings were made during the mid to late 60s, because he either needed the money for drugs or lawyers in the age of Free Love.
@@largelester they were a thang back in the day, for how long don't know, but she said they were something at one time. so it could've been . I like her album. The lyrics could tell something bout their relationship.
one way or the other, tim rose had a great voice. his morning dew was outstanding. influenced a lot of 60`s beat groups. robably better if you don`t look at him!
Actually,Tim Rose claimed Hey Joe was a traditional tune so he could claim royalties after recording the song.He also falsely claimed co-writing credit for Bonnie Dobson's song Morning Dew,but has been discredited on both accounts.Wikipedia states: Hey Joe was registered for copyright in the US in 1962 by Billy Roberts.Roberts is the author. Country music producer Hill Resner has stated that a live recording of Roberts performing Hey Joe dates from 1960.Rose's version did inspire Hendrix though.
Everything from his first album was great. Come Away Melind, Morning dew. Did he influence Tim Hardin? Phil Ochs? Nobody sang with rage and sorrow at that time-- thanks Tim
This lady is actually credited with writing the tune. Her boyfirend Billy Roberts took it and added the lyrics that we know. ruclips.net/video/BEK2EDqxpcY/видео.html
I emailed Tim on his official site not long before he sadly died.He emailed me back and was polite, gracious and could teach the young popstars a thing or to. RIP Tim, check out his version of Morning dew. Thanks
Despite studies of extensive archives of US folk and blues music in the Library of Congress,the Smithsonian Institution,and other bodies,no documentary evidence has been provided to support the claim by the late Tim Rose that "Hey Joe" is a wholly traditional work.Billy Roberts song gained many fans in the Los Angeles music scene,which led to cover recordings in 1965 and 1966 by The Leaves,The Surfaris,Love,The Byrds, & Tim Rose.
The way I heard it, Chas Chandler was taken to a club in NYC by Linda Keith and Hendrix and the (US) Blue Flames was performing. After Chas sat down, Jimi played it and Chas knew that a star was born.
Sorry micahcareyfilms, Hey Joe could very well have been an Old Appalachian ballad 1. How do u know whether or not Tim Rose heard this song when he was a kid? YOU DON'T! #2.Chas DID have Hey Joe in mind for Jimi to record knowing it would be a hit. #3. Check out the 1955 song "Baby, Please Don't Go To Town" by Niela Miller. THEN I would like 4 you to look even further to 1953 & Carl Smiths country hit "Hey Joe" Then, after doing all that, look for a traditional tune called "Little Sadie"!
Sounds more like an eemy yelling across the lines to GI Joe Hey Joe I hear you shot your woman down Coming across a quiet battlefield the piercing night during world war II And the battlefield is quiet Then from across the field you hear... Hey Joe where you goin with that gun in your hand Hey Joe I hear you shot your woman down
OMG what a tenaciuos performance. Reminds me somewhat of Meatloaf, you get the raw truth in every song. This performance was wasted on a young audiance who probably didn't even know the principles being discussed. They should have brought the house down when he was done and they oh sooo politely clapped. I imagine some of Tim's anger is the fact that he first "recorded" the tune/lyrics and is lost in music history under the shadow of Jimi. But remember Tim, everyone is in Jimi's shadow.
astonishing never heard of Tim ( sorry ) after reading some of John Bonhams Bio thankfully I could pull up something of Tims here. Great stuff thanks uploader
The original author of this song, folksinger Billy Roberts, was a friend of Tim Rose. It is alleged that Roberts and Scottish folksinger came up with this song while touring in 1956. However, Roberts clearly was the first copyright holder in 62. When Jake Holmes (wrote Dazed & Confused) joined Roses band, it was this version that supposedly inspired Hendrix's cover. The Leaves were possibly the 1st band with a rock version in 65, and Love did one shortly after, that might have influenced Hendrix
Actually, as much as I like Tim Rose, his claim of this being an "Appalachian Folk Song" was never proven. The original song was copy written by a West Coast Singer Billy Roberts. A lawsuit followed and the Library Congress intervened and stated there was no evidence of Rose's claim.
"Gonna buy a blue steel 44...gonna shoot my ol' lady down....caught her lovin' another man (my best friend)...so I shot her, yes I did, I shot her dead, shot her dead." Tim makes you feel the pathos of it..the pain any man feels from a woman's betrayal. RIP Mr. Rose!
@carterwatrous Billy Roberts is still alive and I believe the Library of Congress testified at the hearing. This is not to disrespect Rose, who was a good performer.. I like the 60's version with the 12 string guitar In the Folk/Blues word stories like this are very common.
Not necessarily... We KNOW Chas had Hey Joe in mind for Jimi to record, and as far as the song having its roots steeped in Appalachia??? Look for the "traditional" song "Little Sadie".... Doc Watson has a good version... Then cross reference it with "Hey Joe" by Carl Smith from 1953 and "Baby, Please Don't Go To Town" by Niela Miller from 1955
This is kinda like if the will Farrell character from that baseball show w Danny McBride did this song. I kind of find it hilarious but respect it. I’ve been playing this song this exact style on guitar not singing for years and found it kinda creepy at first bc I never heard anyone else do it like this.
In the state I grew up in, if a husband came home and found his wife in bed with another man, he had the "right" to shoot both of them and he wouldn't be prosecuted. I think they changed that law now, however.
Sorry fellas, but those of you who are trying to claim that Mr Rose is not telling the truth here need to give Mr Rose some slack,,, #1. How do you know whether or not Tim Rose heard this song when he was a kid? YOU DON'T! #2.Chas DID have Hey Joe in mind for Jimi to record knowing it would be a hit. #3. I would like to draw ur attention to the 1955 song "Baby, Please Don't Go To Town" by Niela Miller. THEN I would like for you to look even further to 1953 and Carl Smiths country hit "Hey Joe"
Funny thing that ego though. 0:25 you c an easily tell he is lying 0:32 winks his eye. 0:58 how did he know this story about Chas and Jimi when no one else ever even heard of it? Besides, everyone knows that Neila Miller really wrote this song. His singing is overkill whereas Jimi sings this with subtley and with understatement and soul.
He reminds me of the late comedian Sam Kinison, both in the way he looks and his gravely voice. His version of the song tells a more detailed story then Jimi Hendrix's version. Hendrix's version was probably cleaned up to be more suitable for airplay.
...yo people back then when you were younger and if you were like me growing up in Glen oaks queens n.y....you might have bought what was called a fourty five record called hay joe by Tim rose.....yes Jimmy hendrix made it famous...but that's it I don't beleive mr rose got money from it at all...and if he did he probably didn't get much😊🔯🗽✌♋😊....👍☆☆☆☆
Tim Rose must have been dreaming . That is not where this song came from. Google Neila Miller " Baby please don't go " She wrote the original. Hey Joe was made from her song.
@TrendyhendyPD is true jimi was playing it chas knew it and likde it and he was blown away by the technique hendrix used to play it thats the real story
Hendrix and Roberts did definitive versions of this song, I’m afraid this effort leaves me cold. Changing the lyrics and shouting certainly creates a unique version, but also an instantly forgettable one.
who are you people who think you know what you're talking about? I was a close friend of Tims and knew all those "other people" too. Tim was the real thing.
Hey Lance! A RUclips channel channel called Unusual Things ( Paul) posted a video about Tim and visited his grave in 2023. Sadly Tim has no headstone and his grave was in bad condition. Maybe his royalties could pay for a headstone?
Bet he was yet another angry young man but the 60-70`s produced those..i was born in 51 and remember...anxt..,, but this..dramatic..he obviously gets it out of his `mothering` system..i cant help laughing when a performer does that..the bbc wont allow the full phrase..i was semi pro 35 years until 2014..bass died and e close but remembering so many more songs could have done but..five piece of varying taste made for success.. ee DID smoke on the water once in a friends pub until i blanked on the last verse..so involved..bass played same riff through it..pity no one recorded..john started the riff...me on keys and singing..why not..no words up..whoops...happy days..keep it live..
Then, after doing all that, look for a traditional tune called "Little Sadie"!!! Fact is, NO ONE really knows who "wrote" Hey Joe... And we probably never will..

The intensity builds and builds. Storytelling genius. Love it

Fantastic performance, still remember when i watched this on the jools Holland show,
I heard Billy Roberts took the basic idea of Hey Joe from Baby Please Don't go to Town by Niela Miller, and it is a great song as well.
This is true, she was his girlfriend and ended up in a messy break up, so he ripped it off
Well,everybody claims they authored Hey Joe,I dont think it is a ripoff,they sound differently to me.I guess chord progression is the same.Otherwise she would sue him..
@@bluesloverdelux5010 You are not entirely wrong, but it is still really close.
Anyway the song has a fascinating history,Tim Rose claims it is traditional but I think he maybe thought about lyrics there..
@@bluesloverdelux5010 Might be a good thing for her that she didn't
Great performance, love this song...I just discovered Tim Rose, very intense.
A great job, on one of my all time favorite songs.
What a strong performance!! Love it!
Billy Roberts wrote the song sometime in 1961/62...
So Tim is lying.
Look it up … Rose may have copyrighted a rearranged version But didn’t write it!! Originally it draws from 2 pre - existing songs .

nah billy roberts cover of jimi hendrix version is way better. you can find it on youtube.

@@misoswoop5174 but apparently he did a newer version like Hendrix transcribed for acoustic. Which is the version I know and like to play.
So many great versions of this song. Love it.
I was lucky enough to see him play live in about 1999 at The Pheasant Inn (Sheffield Lane Top). Great performer and raconteur.
one of the better Hey Joe covers
Now this is singing with raw powerful emotion!!!
+JamTracks by Randy Struble That's why some of the little Iphoney robots on here don't like it.
Still such a strong, sensual voice!

Thanks
Outstanding say no more 👏
Jimi heard "Hey Joe" by the Leaves who, IMHO, cut thee definitive version.
This is a great soulful cover, but I still like Love's version. It was the first one I heard and it stuck with me.
Actually, the more I listen to it, the more Rose draws me into the song and story. Rock In Peace, Tim
You were an unheralded performance genius.
An all time classic.

OMG what a tenaciuos performance. Reminds me somewhat of Meatloaf, you get the raw truth in every song.

Indeed
Agreed....from what I can gather.
Even Billy Roberts on the recording says that it's a folk song.

huh. i guess that's why he blinks at the host when he said he first heard it back in florida when he was 3 years old.
Wow!

incredible - he hit his axe so hard it went out of tune at the end
Tim Rose must have been dreaming . That is not where this song came from. Google Neila Miller " Baby please don't go " She wrote the original. Hey Joe was made from her song.
