Played behind Delbert and ran around with him and his band in the 50's and 60's. In Fort Worth we had a very supportive band environment. Everybody supported each other. We partied together and stayed up late...going to the White Sands Supper Club on Jacksboro Hwy to listen and sit in with Leon Childs who played all night. Great memories of a time past.
@@buckhorncortez No need to be a smart assed sarcastic dick. You and we all know what he meant . He's praising him. I never heard of him til now, til this link popped up, and I've been playing and listening to blues for 50 years. Underrated, under promoted, un appreciated whatever. Those are all words of praise Buford.
Delbert can sing any thing. pop, Rock, Blues, you name it. He,s my favorite solo artist plus he knows how to surround himself w/ Class Musicians. Keep Rocking Del!!!😅😊😂❤
I met Delbert in person in Winston-Salem, NC, in 199? I love the harmonica. Delbert hugged me in a place corner of Stratford Road & Healy Drive.. Not a very large building. Great memory!
The one and only Delbert McClinton in his prime with a kickass Austin Texas band from 1989.... Doesn't get any better.... This song has been attributed to be written by Aaron and Milton Sparks but this is the now famous reworked 1949 version by the the great Memphis Slim (Peter Chapman) with totally different lyrics than the original from 1935.....
When touring with the Beatles in the beginning, he taught John Lennon how to play the harmonica. John played the harmonica in "Love Me Do". Thank you, Delbert!
Bear in mind, this was 1989! It is my impression the folks in that German TV studio are completely clueless... regarding this (infectious) style of music.
1:28 Delberts voice has that great rasp mixed in with a little Texas drawl and, the way, he bends pulls a note right into position… Still blows me away🎉 sitting here with my right foot in a cast, it is so hard not to keep time with that big band sound. Wow🎉🎉
@@the-magictones the trumpet player really lays down I mean sounding horn🎺 it takes quite a lot of skill to blend a trumpet into a rock band; another trumpet player that is also terrific is the player with the Mavericks. As a lead guitarist, I really enjoy a great trumpet sound and you guys are laying it down.🎺😎🎺
Wow! Great band putting together such a great rendition. Listen to the band at 4:15 and tell me you want to just get up and dance! As a sax player I just wished Delbert would have added one more horn!
At 3:25 the piano player starts his solo and it's a straight up chorus of the head to Thelonius Monk's Straight No Chaser, a classic bebop jazz tune. I think it's incredible that he did that and moreover that it fits perfectly.
@@chrislafra4945 Thanks for correcting me. I have listened to so much jazz all my life that I knew it was Monk but my Old Timer's Memory makes remembering names of things when I need to very hard.
Nice catch!! It makes sense though, jazz is just sophisticated blues, and blues is just gospel for people who like to party, and it all eventually turns to rock and roll. Music often moves in a circle and ends up back where it started, or ends up fitting right in in a new neighborhood
Dynamite o Pianist all the players who are backing up Dilbert mcclinton gonna be. A pedigree. Stage performer and have no difficulty letting it ride with some saunter and stride. These guys prolly know every jazz step since ragtime and all points in between Delbert not just a great vocalist he happened to write some dynamic lyrics exemplifies the very best of what we can expect from great acts there is really nonoen can compare raw talent and over all output of energy for the audience N

Hi Jim, thanks for chiming in on memory lane. 😊Those sure are memories of the time when Delbert played with The Straightjackets and The Rondels?
@@the-magictones wow. Yes we were in high school when Jack's Place had the Straightjackets. Great memories.
I think The Rondels was his first band?@@the-magictones
Maybe they were written with a Dash: The Ron-Dels? Have to check the biography „One of the fortunate few“…
"One Of ......." is a Great Album !@@the-magictones
Delbert McClinton is THE most underrated artist in the history of music!
You must be the only person underrating him...
Guarantee..never never got the recognition he deserved

@@buckhorncortez He didn't underrated him. He stated that McClinton is underrated.
Agreed with the original quote. Never heard a guy this good, and the majority of people I know never heard of him. What a shame

Thanks a lot for sharing your memories!
Delbert band...and roomfull of blues....best jump swing...boogie bands on the planet!
One of my favorite voices!!!
Great Delbert ! An american icon ! MV
The piano is exceptional on this song.
Delbert makes this old lady feel so good I just have to dance. ♡
It really was the 80s - guitar player in a blues and roots band playing a Charvel with a Floyd Rose, active pickups, and shark tooth inlays! ;-)
Been following Delbert for years. He's a Fort Worth boy. Going on his Blues cruise in January 2023.
Wow, have a lot of fun on board!
My father went to high school with him. Arlington Heights high school.
This man is a true miracle!
LOVE. ME.. SOME. Mr. DAIBERT.. n. HIS. SONGS🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Such a powerhouse. Delbert has been paying dues since the 50's. It's really hard to imagine the miles he has put down. Amazing.
Love. This. Man. Sound. n. Him.. Aman. 😂😂❤
After years of playing my favorite harp is one that doesn't have the key stamped on it! Worn off like smooth leather and plays like a dream
😅
@@bigtime474 thanks for sharing!

Barry, thanks for the update. For an even broader look at that song, I added a link to the Wikipedia.
Bass player is killing it!
Thanks for mentioning him, as he is rarely on camera in this broadcast.
@@the-magictones He is really a strong player!
who remembers Delbert playin harp on "Hey Baby" by Bruce Channel ?
Every time they play that song on the radio, I am thinking of it! And that happens roughly once a week… lucky me!
Love this guy great harp great voice great band
When touring with the Beatles in the beginning, he taught John Lennon how to play the harmonica. John played the harmonica in "Love Me Do".
Thank you, Delbert!
How can the people stand still with Delbert playing??!!

he sucks here..
Delbert is a Awesome blower wind is swirling in the Love air ❤❤❤✌️❤️

A friend of mine saw a Delbert show in the 1990s when Delbert had one of his legs in a cast... nothing is stopping that man!

The guy cracnkd;: in concert,,,, always a good show
What an amazing rendition of this classic blues song! I've heard so many, but this one is definitely among the finest. Thank you M. McClinton 🙏
It's good to se that soul is still alive...Poor soul
Why "poor", you think Soul is going away? No way…
@@the-magictones LOL..that was intended to be a " tongue-in cheek" comment.
Good call!
Wow! Great band putting together such a great rendition. Listen to the band at 4:15 and tell me you want to just get up and dance! As a sax player I just wished Delbert would have added one more horn!
Well, those Austin days, when Delbert played with a 4-piece horn section, yeah!
Fantastic!
A master, indeed!
Always amazIng!
AMAZING
Just amazing! So good!
up there with the best of best very easy to move the hips to delton music

Blue Monk quote. Suits. Swings hard. Tough vocals. Reminds of the Cain band groove and mentality and quality..
Clássico
Eletrizante

No comments!!!!!!!!!
damn
Well said!
@@the-magictones It was an honest report of what I said, out loud, when I heard his vocal.
I've posted a lot of blues vids on my channel. Hard core piano blues (on the jazzy tip like this) fans like my vids I will post a version of this song soon. Stay tuned. Thanks for the post.
Written by PInetop and Milton Sparks, 1935
@Phil Newton, thanks a lot for the update!
@@the-magictones Great performance by one of my favorite artists.
Composed by Peter Chatman (Memphis Slim).
If you love music like this with a large band go to You Tube and watch Tommy Castro play with "LGRB Legendary Rhythm and Blue Revue -LGRB 2010" "I feel that Old Feeling Coming On"

We love you Delbert. . Bill
nice cover checkout the countbasie joe williams version
Why are the Audience standing like zombies?
I must assume that this type of music and show was rather new to Germany at that time: 1989… Delbert was (and is) known to insiders only. What a pity!
