RIP Kim , One of the best players modern Rock has seen & heard. Before there was Savoy Brown & after there was still Savoy Brown . We will miss Kim dearly & what an influence he was.
A favorite track of my friends and I back in the 60s/early 70s. Kim may be from Wales but he's been living here in "upstate" New York for years. And he's a painter!
I'm 66. Miss the Grande and the Eastown. A great quote is this - "The only thing new to you is the history you're not aware of." We can appreciate this quote more the older we get>
I turned 16 in 1970. I missed the Grande's best days but went there many times. Did you happen to be at the Cream show where the audience helped Cream load their truck so they could catch their flight? When I was in Jr High there was a radio station, not ABX, that the Grande people always listened to. People used their "monikers" such as Raven, Golden One, etc. I did see the Five at the Grande a few times. Was at their last show there on a New Years Eve. Maybe 500 people there. @@TheVirgilSamms
Thanks for posting. The combo of Youlden and Simmons reminds me why, along with Fleetwood Mac, Savoy Br was one of my two favourite bands besides Cream and the Stones in the early 70's. Both had distinctive sounds and were genuinely stirring.
Earl, Stevens and lonesome Dave Peverett went on to form Foghat in 1970. The early Foghat albums were excellent. Thanks for sharing I never realized these 3 were in Savoy Brown - good stuff
When I was 16 my English cousin came over the pond for a visit. He turned me on to Savoy Brown when we were shopping for records in the cutout bin., "Hey, buy that one, you'll like it." The record was "Looking In" and it's still one of my favorites.
Just blown away by the poster ! A major regret and miss for me...I remember distinctly seeing it in a record store and lamenting I didn't have the 😂 ticket cash !!
Saw them twice, once in Lowell and once at Northeastern college in Boston in late 60's or early 70's one of my all time favorite groups! Memories are tough to pin down!
"Wouldn't it be a real drag if we were all the same? " Saw them, they were second bill, with the Grease Band opening, and The Faces headlining, at Cal Expo in Sacramento. Billed as "A Night of British Rock", with a huge Union Jack in background. 9th grader in 1970. Four of us had a hit of mescaline each, small water pipe and bag O weed. Ahh...the old days
Evidently the mescaline wasn't too overwhelming, as you appear to be here now to tell of the adventure. Motivated my thinking in high school when Vietnam and racism were severe issues.... love, peace, brotherhood, consciousness
No for us mescaline or acid was just a portal, for me anyways, to let my mental journey follow wherever the guitar player took it to. Just cause we took them didn't make us any less altruistic. I grew up in a military home. My dad served 25 years in Air Force. Retiring in 1967. I was still active in social issues. @@WaylandRustyRoberts
Started w Savoy Brown collecting vinyl & first concerts were Savoy Brown & then Foghat, saw them multiple times, up there w Dylan Santana Frampton, later on Kim Simmons played the I-90 NY State Thruway circuit from Boston thru NY to Cleveland & back, just like many old Black Bluesmen did & called it home cuz NYC was too expensive, not all that long ago.
This song is the Story of My Life. It was on a sampler called Blues power that I bought back in 1971. I never really truly wanted to work for Xerox or the Dallas Morning News or IBM or all those other jobs that paid less than $100 a day. From the age of 10 all I really wanted to do with my life was to be a f****** hard rock drummer. I'm 62 now which means I wasted my life just to keep a roof over my head and try to be secure. I am hoping in my last few years that 50 years worth of trying finally mold my life into something that I can be proud of. And you can bet your ass it wasn't supposed to be the short-haired route. Howdy from Dallas Texas
Thanks guys ! When your feeling like the last Dinosaur in this lost world with the lack of culture and meaningless music. ( Aside from the virus ...politricks..and endless other crap)...it's feels good to have these times and music to still relate to. And knowing there's you all still out there... Yeah hasn't been alot of fun to grow up and search after mon ey-- without doing anything sustainingly beneficial. Or even keep any to do what you want to... The soundtrack of a generation of promise... what happened ?
i always loved this tune...i learned how to play it on guitar and piano. what's beautiful is it's available here. thank you to you...what's sad is that there are so few of us interested in the old british blues scene. it's a small group of appreciative efficianados that make up this world of good taste. (sorry chahlie, stahkist wants tunas that taste good) ah, so be it.
andrew lowther don't forget the debt we owe to british blues. In Amerika blues was almost on the ropes. Rock, MoTown, disco, etc. Were commanding the day and a blues man just couldn,t make a living...or get a gig! A lot of the greats Muddy for example survived by going to europe.
Rocky Athas and the late Larry Samford do a kick ass version of this too! Great Post...never knew of this and I'm embarrassed to say that I have always heard of Savoy Brown....but I am really in to his music big time now. Beats all the other bullshit RAP and Synchronized shit that seems to have infected our up and coming generation! I'm 60 and fortunately lived through the times when music expressed talent and most artists did just that rather than succumb to creating (If you want to call it that) the bubble gum crap in today's world!
My first band did 'Street Corner Talking'. Saw them at the legendary El Mocambo in Toronto, where one side of a Rolling Stones double live album was recorded, submitted an entry for the contest to attend a "surprise' performance by the Stones, right after Keith's smack bust, didn't win, sadly. SRV also recorded a live performance broadcast at least on local TV, still widely viewed, or excerpts of, on YT. We got kicked out for smoking dope at our table, lol.
Great photo collage! It is wild that Rodger Earl, drummer here, is the lone FOGHAT survivor, and is still tours occasionally - It's only been 48 years since he, Tony Stevens, and Lonesome Dave Peverett left Savoy Brown, to form Foghat !

. Many consider that the recordings featuring Chris Youlden's rich vocals and songwriting augmented by Kim Simmonds's jazz-tinged, fluent blues guitar, were Savoy Brown's finest work; "Unfortunately, leader Kim Simmonds lost his greatest asset when vocalist Chris Youlden quit(1970 raw sienna) for an ill-fated solo career after this recording. Youlden had one of the most distinctive voices in British blues, and Savoy would never fully recover from his exit,(( you are correct he is still alive I don't know why hi thought he wasn't my bad.)) The song needle and spoon might've been of influence to some extent I don't know
+noblsht I totally agree with you. Granted, Savoy Brown had great instrumental chops, but Chris Youlden's vocals are what really set Savoy Brown apart from all the other British blues bands of the late 60s.
+Robert Lucey well thanks bud, now you have inspired me, I want to find that one song from.Chris Youlden, and listen to it, I think it's called needle and spoon, married for life
I guess I better put my two cents in since I’m 77 now. I went on a date with him, with Kim, Approximately 1990. But I had a boyfriend so I had to blow him off. He said do you know who Savoy Brown is? I said of course I do, train to nowhere is one of my favorites. He tried to get a limousine but got a taxi instead. The amazing part is shortly after he died he contacted me from the other side because I am clairaudient. He said you were the one that got away. I said I’m sorry that happened. He said it’s OK because I was kind of a jerk back in those days. He came up to me at the Soho club in Santa Barbara my hometown that’s how it started, so I didn’t know who he was at first till he told me. I still love train to nowhere!
I'm 70 and still listening🙏❤🌹🌍🌎🌏🔥

I was 20 when I first heard this. I went out and spent my last few dollars on the album. Chris Youlden was the most heartful blues singer. I'm nearly 75 now, and it is still on my playlist.
I hear that, was there too!
Went on to play bass in many bands. I was able to cop this lick and sing it at the same time. Took me a few days playing along with it.
YEEEAH BABY.
Chris Youlden's vocals added another dimension to Savoy Brown's late 60's through early 1970's recordings. I listen to and enjoy them up to this day!
One o the best vocalist ever , never understood why he left or why Simmonds would let him go
Yes! Kim is great guitarist but that voice Chris is it
Chris has some solo albums out and they're great. He's still playin'
Yep! Chris Youlden gave a depth to Savoy Brown that was unique. They made some great music after he left, but man, what a voice.
Chris always sounds a bit like he has a cold 😅... which adds a lot to the charm of his vocals. Great voice, great guitar!
The most underrated band ever
Indeed, sir.
Vocal like Elvis

This song has endured as one of my touchstone songs throughout the years. RIP Kim Simmonds
I used to like Savoy Brown,I still do, but I usta to. lol
R.I.P Kim thanks for all the iconic Blues you were the soundtrack of my youth and entire life
Very sad news today of the passing of Kim Simmonds... Thank you for decades of phenomenal music...
Fantastic groove, fantastic guitar, fantastic singing .... what a band
Looking In was my first experience with this band and I fell in love with the music. Have all the albums and living in heaven playing them.
Background music to my teenage years.❤️
Been listening since the 60's. It never gets old.
Me too. Great music.
These guys had so many iconic songs but this one sums it up for me.

The Grande Ballroom was my 2nd home. I loved being there. Seen Savoy Brown several times there, and Cream three or four times.
I turned 16 in 1970. I missed the Grande's best days but went there many times. Did you happen to be at the Cream show where the audience helped Cream load their truck so they could catch their flight? When I was in Jr High there was a radio station, not ABX, that the Grande people always listened to.

Savoy Brown were trailblazers ,and that was so long ago ❤️✌️💯
Good 60's rebellion. And still relevant. These lyrics are true with each generation of adolescents and twenty-somethings.
Saw them in Mobile Alabama, wow, 1974 I think, maybe 1975, outdoors it rained as they came out on the stage, grrrrrr!
This song still kicks assssss!!!!!!
If you don't understand this song You're just wrong
Always has. Bought this album BRAND NEW ! When it first came out
Now I was exactly just going to comment the same thing!
Uhm
Just blown away by the poster ! A major regret and miss for me...I remember distinctly seeing it in a record store and lamenting I didn't have the 😂 ticket cash !!
Saw them twice, once in Lowell and once at Northeastern college in Boston in late 60's or early 70's one of my all time favorite groups! Memories are tough to pin down!

One of my all time favorite songs. Thanks. :0)
Je suis français et j’écoute cette music. Je ne comprend pas les paroles, mais le son me donne la bonne humeur👍🏽
Saw them a couple of times fantastic! I liked all of it
with their classic lineup with CHRIS YOULDEN on vocals.Little Milton Campbell covered this on Chess in 1970. Written by Mr. Youlden.
Youlden is great
I was so fortunate to see them in concert
Started w Savoy Brown collecting vinyl & first concerts were Savoy Brown & then Foghat, saw them multiple times, up there w Dylan Santana Frampton, later on Kim Simmons played the I-90 NY State Thruway circuit from Boston thru NY to Cleveland & back, just like many old Black Bluesmen did & called it home cuz NYC was too expensive, not all that long ago.

Chris Youlden one of the most bluesy white vocalist !
Хотя я и не очень люблю блюз, с удовольствием прослушал. Спасибо автору за качественный звук!
La mejor etapa de Savoy Brown ( 1969 - 1973) . Youlden, Paverett, Walker, Lynton y algunas participaciones de Raymond en la voz son fabulosas.
Great photo collage!
It is wild that Rodger Earl, drummer here, is the lone FOGHAT survivor, and is still tours occasionally - It's only been 48 years since he, Tony Stevens, and Lonesome Dave Peverett left Savoy Brown, to form Foghat !
Best Lineup of the band!!!
Will be seeing them live in November. Good things!
This came out in 1969... I remember in 1973 when I was trying to learn this song Elvis in Hawaii was on TV...
Youlden ROCKS!
CHRIS YOULDEN, legend of British Blues!
I was 10 so 55 yrs plus ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Love this band street corner talking still got the original lip I bought all those years ago
I wonder how big they would've gotten, had this version of Savoy Brown remained together another 6-8 years.
thats a real classic right here
Sang the chorus of this song to a Major while standing for a command inspection during my National Guard tour in 1971. Needless to say I spent the rest of the weekend scrubbing pots and pans in the kitchen of the Armory.
