Hey I'm 80years old I live phila. Pa. I've seen hank here many times. I feel sad for the young people who never seen them Great old days 🎼👍🏿🎼 let the good times ROLL 👍🏿👍🏿
The Great Hank Ballard!!! A great entertainer, song writer and singer. He was born to do what he did. I met Hank through my friend Brendan Mullen in LA when he played here . I’m so glad I got to know him. James Brown had such respect for his talent. I loved to listen to his stories. A true talent!!! A Great person!!!
Thank you im 83 still can sing and remember the words. Still feel they concrete under my feet as I shuffled my feet at jukebox and pinball machines at misty waters. Met hank in 60 then dick clark in 73 and lennyvwilliams and quincy jones when I lived in hollywood and tower of power time. Lenny williams help me load my car when I was leaving for a mission in asia turn out I ended up last american out of Cambodia at start of genocide The Killing Fields.
The Godfathers of the cool teens of the 50s and the of the best college frats in the 60s. We loved em....especially Hank and the great Cal Green on guitar
Would have loved to have been a musician in that era some of the greatest songs were written , it was live raw and honest . Musicians like Hank Ballard and Chuck Berry were my biggest influences and inspirations to keep learning writing and playing. Hank Ballard wrote so many great songs that in my opinion should have gotten more recognition than they did
Probably because he had Dick Clark behind him and Hank Ballard was a purveyor of "race" music with some naughty songs on his resume who did not get airplay on most white stations.
@@dennisgallagher Sounds like a reasonable explanation. I just noticed that in this event, Ballard actually credits Checker and Clark, I guess for popularizing the song.
Actual song list: The Hoochi Coochi Coo / Work With Me Annie / Teardrops On Your Letter / Sexy Ways / Finger Poppin' Time / Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go / The Twist
Where was this? I attended many shows & this looks familiar. My favorite Midnighter Curtis...lots of good times after shows with these guys. What happened to Curtis??? Great video thanks for sharing
W'pedia mentions the personnel in the group by name, but nothing about their races. The vid shows that the band was integrated. At least three members look like they came from European ancestry.

Why was Chubby Checker's rendition of "The Twist" more popular than the original?
Probably because he had Dick Clark behind him and Hank Ballard was a purveyor of "race" music with some naughty songs on his resume who did not get airplay on most white stations.
@@dennisgallagher Sounds reasonable.

Got me ???? From the first whack on the snare drum through the gritty sax solo. This version is the best.
still sounds like hanks iconic voice probably chubby original millie vanilli
I used to put him a M’s opening for Jerry Lee Lewis
Actual song list:
The Hoochi Coochi Coo / Work With Me Annie / Teardrops On Your Letter / Sexy Ways / Finger Poppin' Time / Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go / The Twist
Whats the name of the intro song playing during the introduction?
Muddy Waters Hoochie Coochie Man
