Bonnie Dobson & Robert Plant - Morning Dew 

Thats rare, Grateful Dead for sure

Same here.

That was Rod Stewart singing on “Truth” for those who might not know🤓

It was the first song on side two of the Grateful Dead's debut album one year before in1967. It has the mark of great song writing that so many versions are so powerful. Props to Mr. Plant for having Bonnie Dobson finally getting the recognition she deserves.

This is practically the only comment on here that isn't by someone posting about their unique ability to use Google or Wikipedia causing grief with others. Kudos to you 👍

Yes, all of those accolades after so many years as the "self satisfying carnal gourmet" he was while fronting Led Zeppelin.

Damn her voice is still sounds just like her original on album! Was. Also cool of Robert to chill back on bongo session !

​@@robmckrobmck5567 And all of we girls were in love with.him and his head full of curls in the late sixties. Jelly?

Yes

Bonnie's voice remains breathtakingly beautiful. I once asked how she's kept it so clear and she quipped that she'd never got into the drugs scene like many others back in 60s NYC!

Thank you! I so didn't know!

Double Bass - Danny Thompson. :)

Gordon presenting a songwriting hall of fame award pretty much says it all This is a very very special song

Yes, top man Robert Plant. Well done sir for getting Bonnie the credit she deserves for writing this amazing, unsettling, deeply-affecting son. God bless you Bonnie Dobson

Yep. It’s Bonnie’s song after all

Giving credit to the author of a song he covered, well that's a good one

@Coogan No, he stole it.

Also this song is perfect as a man\woman duet.

Here here brother!

oh, maybe any version by Long John Baldry tops this by far, OR the Jeff Beck Group and of course Duane & Greg's version. All much better than the original or this version. Tho thanks Bonnie for writing it.

@@robertcondit1536 There's many great covers of this song by many great artists. The original by the songwriter is always special. A great example is Allen Toussaint singing his songs was always a treat.

@@1blastman I would agree in MOST cases - but not this one. Actually, not fond of her or R.P. singing on this one. However I do like the band arrangement.

DAN was incredibly creative in THE NAZ version 💔

Love NAZ doing this version too 💔

Year of birth for me!

@@gregoryearl2264 I was born November 1954 so I would have been 6 at the time she wrote this.

Mine too 👌

Blackfoot also covered this song.. theirs is a pretty good cover.

It's a song apparently inspired by a really dark movie from a really dark book. Apparently she went see the movie "On The Beach" based on the book by the same name written by Neville Shute. The book is better than the movie but check either or both out if you have a chance. That's what apparently inspired this song and while the technology in these may seem a bit dated the theme isn't. In fact, events going on in the world right now actually make this song and the movie and book it was supposedly based upon exceedingly relevant on February 28, 2022. Who in heaven's name ever thought we'd be here today but here we are and a sixty year old song is more relevant than ever. There are dozens if not hundreds of antiwar protest songs which bear relevance to sometimes specific battles or wars while others relate to war in general but this is perhaps the most powerful anti-nuclear- war song ever written, evidenced by the numerous times it's been covered by many very famous performers in several different music genres. So play this song, whichever version you choose, and listen to it closely. Also if you can, read Neville Shute's "On The Beach" and/or check out the movie. And reflect on all this as we take in the daily hash of news from media and online from the events in Europe right now and hope and pray for sane heads to prevail; the finger is closer to the button than it's been in a very long time.

Almost sounds like "When the Wind Blows."

And Nazareth version!

and Long John Baldry

Human Beans and Clannad

And our boy john in dead and company did a good job too.

Also einstürzende neubauten :-)

SHE SOUNDS THE SAME

Sad ........ I think they made a movie about this.

Where have all the flowers gone? Another great same theme.

@@derrickmcdaniel4320 According to Wikipedia... "Dobson stated that the inspiration for "Morning Dew" was the film On the Beach, which is about the survivors of virtual global annihilation by nuclear holocaust." Released three years earlier (1959), it starred Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner. (I do not know whether a subsequent film also followed based on the song.)

How many artists have Danny to thank for adding that unique sound of his? He must have been on the scene for 60 years or so now. A great performer and a great guy

. .❤️

influenced from the movie On The Beach

I know of no evidence that the song is about anything nuclear. The genius of the song is that we are free to interpret it as we will.

@@beldengi Where do you think the "morning dew" came from? Had you been around in the 60's, you'd know EXACTLY what this chilling song is about.

@@beldengi Well, you're wrong. Morning dew is nuclear fallout.

@@gino11ish No, there is no Morning Dew BECAUSE of Nuclear fallout

The version I'm most familiar with.

@@sns0805 Bonnie got paid for all the versions of course.

@@andyelliott8027 of course.

Absolutely

+folkmusicgirl If you mean Garcia's rendition, he can't sing. The author & Plant are great singers.

+flyingfishsurf No, not Garcia's at all! Bonnie singing it - that is why I said, "What a beautiful voice she has" etc. My entire comment was only about Bonnie Dobson. :-)) Did not mention Garcia at all in my comments so didn't understand why you thought I might be talking about Garcia's rendition..

​@@folkmusicgirl Some people are just obsessed with hating on Jerry Garcia. Says more about them then it says about Jerry. Agree that Bonnie's singing voice is sublime.

I saw the song titel, and i thought Long John Baldry.

@@wijtweeun Title.👍

Well, he hasn’t always had a perfect record on that one.
