Anyone else listening to this all time classic in 2024? Black Betty was originally written way back when and was a negro song from the South. [Apologies I forget the exact term for that kind of song - a 'dirge'?] Sydney radio disc jockey Doug Mulray [Uncle Doug] found an original recording. It was sung really really slow at a twentieth speed than the rock version. Much prefer Ram Jam's version 😁 Love it!
OMG haven’t heard this in so long and I’m 65! Loved it then love it now Like this so I can rehear it too!! (Loved the comment about turning water into weed)
