Lonnie brought so much pleasure to so many Young people back in those days .
I love this music. Greetings from Uruguay
And still does in 2024, well at least to me. My generation couldn’t come close to lonnie
My dad was born 1940. Died in March 2022. My girl grew up with her grandad singing Lonnie songs. It's her 16th birthday in April, I longed for him to sing putting on the style for her on her 16th. I feel so sad for them both ❤
Grew up listening to Lonnie. Legend.
Love his music. He also reminds so much of Robin Williams.
Right?
I was born 23rd May 1968, I 1st heard Lonnie in the 70s as a kid ,! From my Da ,,! Playing Lonnie, & add , My Dad's favourite Lonnie song is,, does your chewing gum lose its flavour on the bed post over night,!God Bless from northern Ireland UK, 🤝🇬🇧
Largely forgotten now but he had good taste with the material he covered and wrote great novelty songs. I always think of skiffle as the punk of its day as it was a back to basics, anyone can have a go approach. Him and Bert Weedon kick started what for the UK was to become one of its most successful export industries from a nation previously known more for words than music
Lonnie is the man who totally changed music. Without Lonnie there would have been no Merseybeat, no Beatles. He might not have taught the World to sing but he encouraged the world to form groups and play music. A major influence.
He’s still doing it from the great beyond, I’ve just learned this on my Ukulele, lm 65 now and remember this being played in our home when I was a kid, He was a great musician and performer I hope to learn more of his songs. 🇬🇧
We all know.
He only changed the music in this country with his unique skiffle sound.
Other pioneers of that era were already ahead of him.
He was more popular for singing comedic songs like my old man's a dustman....
Shit hot !
@@mariacanavan3305 Rubbish !! Though he changed the music in this country, people like Jimmy Page, Brian May, EltonJohn, The Beatles, The Stones and many more acknowledge Lonnie as the one that inspired them, so if it wasn't for Lonnie, the British invasion of America would not have happened th-cam.com/video/pic_XLqR0Wg/w-d-xo.html just listen to this version with the late great Rory Gallagher on guitar; it was taken of an album from 1978, where all the artists gave their services free as they named Lonnie as their inspiration; people like Elton John, Brian May , Gary Booker ( from Procol Harem) etc
OMG I love this guy.
It really impresses me how England started with this type of music and today we have artists like Ed Sheeran or Dua Lipa
The King of Skiffle at his very best, sadly missed
ABSOLUTELY!!! Loved Lonnie and his group. Great influence!
Brilliant, Lonnie was so bloody good !!!!!!
Absolutely excellent! 👌👌👌❤️
John Lennon played this song with the Quarrymen at the Church Fete game n Liverpool the day he met Paul McCartney in 1957. The Skiffle music craze caused thousands of skiffle bands to form overnight in England, one of them being the Quarrymen.
That banjo solo is a real hoot!!!! Loved it!! USA NH
he was a better banjo player than i ever realized!😉
So simple, so great.
This better, in my ears, way way much better than 99,9% of all music made after 2000😊
This man and his Skiffle band..fantastic!
Born in 1956 but I love listening to Lonnie
i remember he was never off the radio. i was born 1951..
This song was played at my grandads funeral he died in January the 31st was buried in February the 9th which would have been his 90th he loved Lonnie donagan and Andy Stuart
criminally underrated
Another great Scottish singer
This brings back memories of junior school, it was the most popular song for quite some time.
🎉Bin 1939 geboren und wir liebten seine Musik und haben “geskiffelt” wie die Verrückten !
Late 1950s, early 1960s. I can't remember when. Lonnie appeared with Chris Barber at the Barnet Jazz Club as guest performer. He had just released a record called "Have a Drink on Me" and I knew the words. During the interval a the local pub I started to sing the song. Lonnie was just a few drinkers away. He asked me if I had bought his record and I replied that I owned every record he had ever recorded. He asked, "What's your favourite?" and I said, "Bring a Little Water Sylvie." He said to the barman, "Get this man a drink. What's your name? Alan, you, have a drink on me!" That's my only claim to fame. Well, apart from the time I met Connie Francis.
the song was 1957
Rockin At
Great. Lonnie was with Chris Barber even before he was called up and again after the war. As a solo act he was obviously massive worldwide but they remained friends after he went solo and he often did "re-unions".
Awesome story! Love his music!
Love Lonnie - & Connie Francis too!
Its pure happiness
What a tonic
Love this❤❤❤❤❤❤
When I was a kid in the 1960’s my dear Mom recited these lyrics to me..recalling her girl-hood in 1920’s Saskatchewan Canada…
This is one of my favorite songs and Webb is one of my favorite country singers (which is a very short list) 💠🌹
Don't forget he was a Glaswegian and we jived to his music yep am still alive margaret
Long may you live.
Immer wieder hörenswert. Ein herausragender Musiker und Sänger
Loved amb appreciated his style
Such a good tune...the Dutch group 'the lightown skiffle group ' recorded it
Under the title of 'doe het maar in 'n emmertje' ...(just drink from a bucket'
I was 6 years old then, almost 70 now!
Woov Lonnie that´s crazy thank´s to memories!!😊😊👉👉💫💫
This is the first song I ever remember hearing....
Brilliant 🙂,!!!!!!!!X
Handsome Lonnie!
You can’t watch this without tapping your feet.🙂
yesss amazing and he changed everything many people dont know and many dont share specially upper classes in U.S nyc best video world :) 50s made music differently now 2000s 2022😍😁😇🤑🙏
I'm Norman Cazden's grandson and have some of his notes on the song from back in the day. He didn't actually write it, what he did was put to paper the performance of another guy by the name of Ernie Sagar in 1945 which drew on a bunch of other existing songs, as well as very similar song that had also been published in the 1920's. Norman later gave his version of the song to future folk-music legend Pete Seeger, who was a personal friend, and Seeger popularized it in New York, and from there it went to Britain and the skiffle scene.
It's still a great tune, though.
Playing this as its my birthday song 60 years ago today Good old Lonnie Must have heard this when i popped out into this world haha😀🍧
A younger Robin Williams would’ve played him perfectly in a biopic
Fr fr
Singing this at Celtic park on game day
Ah...happy days!!!
I sing this song with my friends , its very funny.
A very stylish performance.
Long live Lonny Donegan!!
very smart man."
Donegan certainly had style .
And to think that there is a recording of a 16-year-old John Lennon performing this song with the band that years later would become one of the most influential in history that would revolutionize popular music forever... And it was played by same day that he would meet another young musician named Paul McCartney
my Da fav, , b4,, me , I born 1968, , but play now, as a 50 year old,!
Still seems fresh, sign of a great performer.
The recording engineer on this and many other of his early PYE/NIXA recordings was Joe Meek.
About twenty years ago I met Lonnie at a reunion concert with Chris Barber and Monty Sunshine. Lonnie had huge charisma, forty years after he heyday he was still bubbling with energy.
Fantastic! I remember that energy. Infectious! Great GREAT days!
completly agree Lonnie was the first
Thats another earworm satisfied, I’m amazed how i could remember a song word-for-word from when I was one year old?
Agree Im the same
still got it on a 78
Just learned about this guy and Skiffle.
CILLA BLACK goes to church just to see the boys, laughs and screams and giggles at every little noise,
turns her face a little then turns her head a while but everybody knows she's only putting on the style.
Putting on the agony putting on the style, that's what all the young folk are doing all the while
as I look around me I sometimes have to smile seeing all the young folk putting on the style.
STIRLING MOSS in the hot rod car driving like he's mad with a pair of yellow gloves he's borrowed from his dad
he makes it roar so lively just to see his girlfriend smile but she only knows he's just putting on the style.
IAN PAISLEY in the pulpit roars with all his might, sings Glory Hallelujah puts the folks all in a fright,
now you may think it's Satan that's coming down the aisle, but it's only preacher Paisley is putting on his style.
my, Da , fav,, , back then,, / I born 1968,, / I play now, !
De los días en que la música fue hecha por personas y almas, más bien que de robots y maquinaria electrónica. Una maravilla.
Bravo super
I can see the influence this gave John Lennon at a young age. lmao
Bat Punk yeah John lennon loved The styling 50s Writers Such as Buddy Holly, Lonnie Donegan, Elvis Presley and little Richard!
@@theguitaristdreamer9886 lol
He played it at the church in Woolton
eine fröhliche musik-erfrischend
My ,da like don, , I born 1968 ,
Putting on the style
Lonnie Donegan
Lyrics
Sweet sixteen goes to church
Just to see the boys
Laughs and screams and giggles
At every little noise
Turns her face a little
And turns her head awhile
But everybody knows she's
Only putting on the style
She's putting on the agony
Putting on the style
That's what all the young folks
Are doing all the while
And as I look around me
I sometimes have to smile
Seeing all the young folks
Putting on the style
Well the young man in the hot rod car
Driving like he's mad
With a pair of yellow gloves
He's borrowed from his dad
He makes it roar so lively
Just to make his girlfriend smile
But she knows he's only
Putting on the style
He's putting on the agony
Putting on the style
That's what all the young folks
Are doing all the while
And as I look around me
I sometimes have to smile
Seeing all the young folks
Putting on the style
Preacher in the pulpit
Roars with all his might
Sing Glory Halleluja
Puts the folks all in a fright
Now you might think it's satan
That's a-coming down the aisle
But it's only our poor preacher boys
That's putting on his style
Putting on the agony
Putting on the style
That's what all the young folks
Are doing all the while
And as I look around me
I sometimes have to smile
Seeing all the young folks
Putting on the style
Putting on the agony
Putting on the style
That's what all the young folks
Are doing all the while
And as I look around me
I sometimes have to smile
Seeing all the young folks
Putting on the style
Putting on the agony
Putting on the style
That's what all the young folks
Are doing all the while
And as I look around me
I sometimes have to smile
Seeing all the young folks
Putting on the style

my, Da, likes ,60s,, I born 1968,!!
First appearance of Les Bennetts ? Looks very young and nervous
ジョン・レノンがクオーリーメンのポールと出会った時のライブで歌った不鮮明な音源が発掘され話題になりました
What show is this live footage from? I can't find it anywhere else!
I like this one a lot more than Gamblin' Man
Jonah Justin Trudeau and his Shuffle Band of Canadians aka The Shuffling Liberals Putting on the Style
You tube Celtic fans singing this v rangers 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Und Zack - gute Laune😅
I dont think this clip is from 1957. The guitarist here is Les Bennett who didn't join Donegan's group till later
It's John Lennon's mum on ukele
Peter Sellers does a good take of Lonnie.
who was lonnies guitarist ?
I remember this at the new year when my father attempted to murder my mum.
How much did Lonnie look like a young Robin Williams?
Was the Skifull the way to play Country And Western music by The English ? 🎸👍
Closer to a buddy holly for the Brits tbh
This is not the recording that was released and reached no.1
stylin' :)

This is punk to me
It was a fake mustache...

Про Путина англосаксы пели уже в 1957-году) какая прозорливость) это посильнее Нострадамуса)
