Bill Bartlett the lead singer and guitarist with Ram Jam is still going strong to this day. He still tours and has even been part of the Yardbirds tour since around 2015.

The other day you cried and today you laughed, it's the magic of music. Peace!

One hit wonders of the 1970's.

@foxman1546 Год назад

It was great watching you both get in the groove. You know you both wanted to get up and shake it. 😂

@robertconner5002 Год назад

Everyone plays this version, but the Album version is much longer and shows the guitar work so much better.

@gerrydantone6834 Год назад

A great pure rock and roll tune and everyone wishes it were longer!

@lindablair-rk9vr Год назад

So Cute you two are. A song from my childhood, love it!

@general-cromwell6639 9 месяцев назад

This song will stick with you for the rest of your life. It will be odd moments, a sound, a tune...You immediately go into the "Ram Jam" audio loop. ;-) Been there many times. All the best. Cheers.

@kimcutts6153 Год назад

Can you believe this was a one hit wonder for these guys? What a tune. AWESOMENESS.... BLACK BETTY V BLACK BEAUTY = 🐎 😅😂

@dagmar.6954 Год назад

"Black Betty" was Ram Jam's only big hit in 1977. But it is one of the most fun & energetic songs. Just some dudes hanging out in someone's back yard & jamming out. Love it! "Black Betty" is a 20th-century African-American work song often credited to Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter as the author, though the earliest recordings are not by him. While some may think “Black Betty” refers to a woman, others claim it’s a nickname for any number of objects, including a bottle of whiskey, a whip, an 18th century musket or even a penitentiary transfer wagon.

@dagmar.6954 Год назад

@Sub if you are against antifa and BLM No one knows for sure the true meaning of this song.

@penelopehornswaggle102 8 месяцев назад

It has to be about a woman. She had a child... Listen to the words people. It's not that complicated.

@Al.Kannibal Год назад

A song for putting a smile on your face :)

@denisebulgariu964 Год назад

That is one of the best rock song ever !!!!!Is a clasic

@kimcutts6153 Год назад

Lol. Andre.... You are thinking of "Black Beauty" the horse. AWESOME TUNE. Icannot wait for this reaction.

@mojobag01 Год назад

A legal case and some touchy radio stations did for this as a hit at the time but it still became a classic.

@johnmadden2421 Месяц назад

Look up The Lemon Pipers for a stark contrast - lead singer plays guitar.

It’s a work song and they turned it to a party song. You don’t need to know more than pour yourself into the fun

@voglioiltuolatob1906 Год назад

Hey, you two Europeans. You guys take me back to the years when I was a teenager! I was a 15-year-old boy and in the 1st grade.... THIS was one of my favorite songs, along with "Barracuda" by the Hearts P.s.: I really appreciate that little picture that is to the left of Dominika. I own a similar small picture (made on a silver frame), given to me by an Orthodox Christian friend of mine (I am, however, Roman Catholic) and which was specially blessed by the (Orthodox) Eparch of St. Petersburg

@voglioiltuolatob1906 Год назад

Thank you so much, thank you so much for appreciating my comment. I just want to add one thing, which concerns Andrei... Andrei, Do you know that you are very similar (morphologically speaking) to the Romanian monks (that I have met, in the course of my life) and who live in Romanian Orthodox Christian monasteries (especially located in Transylvania)? You remind me (with your very nice, very polite and very patient way of doing) the many discussions I had with them and which (with great discretion, on their part) were never prevaricating, but always full of active listening, of reflection and a great reason for learning and theological reflection.

@michelegrunwald6073 9 месяцев назад

The Black Betty was a muzzle loading rifle, made in Burmingham, Alabama. And yes, they were partying on beer and weed. It was 1977 America. Backyard parties and jams.

@russellgtyler8288 27 дней назад

I've heard of the british brown bess rifle. Never heard one called black betty.

@stephenroberts8964 Год назад

There's a longer version of this, that you may enjoy more.

@stephenmcglone3878 Год назад

This song was reworded by Lead Belly in 1939

@mikefetterman6782 Год назад

Ram Jam formed in 1977 and split up in 1978. This was their only hit. It's great, but it was the only one.

@noplacelikehomecrochet5335 11 месяцев назад

Leadbelly did a version of this in the 30’s. They definitely made it their own

@theg0ldkiller Год назад

@Perspectiveon 6 месяцев назад

1977. THE ultimate year in musical terms imo. I was 13 and "Sultans of swing" was released too. Still two of my absolute favorit tunes.

@angusrocks939 Год назад

in my opinion, and strictly my own opinion.... black betty was a musket/rifle used by british soldiers waaaay back in the day. black betty's child was the ball/bullet that she propelled through her smooth bore. "the damn thing went wild", refers to the fact that they were inaccurate, and the ball went where it wanted to. just sayin'.

@tamiw.166 4 месяца назад

This song has been around forever. Leadbelly recorded it in the 1930's, but it's probably older than that. Black Betty refers to a rifle, and her "baby" is the bullet. Ram Jam made it a hit im 1977, and it was a Party.Song.! (we had a LOT of fun in the 70's) Sadly, they never had another hit. Glad you enjoyed it - that beat will be in your head now for a long time! Love your reactions - there is something to enjoy in any music genre, and you two do! ♥ Thank you.

There is a studio version that is longer. I've watched about ten reactions to Black Betty by RamJam recently and all of the reactors are smiling by the first verse. 😂

@dougg8167 3 месяца назад

Hi Guys, great reaction. I would really like to see you react to this again when you find out that they were talking about a rifle used in the war. PLEASE. lol

@moonmoon-nu5yx Год назад

it's always a pleasure to see you again and see you commenting on songs. I suggest you see the video of ''algérino - bawa'' he sings ''dance like a chaoui'' the chaouis come from a region in the south east of Algeria where ''the wife, the horse and the rifle'' are sacred. a little musical and visual journey good viewing

@moonmoon-nu5yx Год назад

Please seek out the unedited original version! No "official" video but it's DEFINITELY the definitive version! Smokin'! :)

@denalinde Год назад

This reminds me that Ren did a verse of this while busking with Sam mixed with some Stevie Wonder. It was so fun! 💜

@deoncruywagen5191 Год назад

As mentioned before, the first verse is an old work/slave song. This part is usually sung much, much slower. The second and third verses were actually written by the lead singer, and he wrote them about his favorite pin-up model, namely Betty Page. So it's actually two songs in one.

@kenkonwick6660 Год назад

I've read in many accounts that the 1st verse refers to black powder muskets, w h en fired the blinded many soldiers. Black Betty being the black powder. 2nd refers to black hashish, a fine smoking material that is much more potent than weed. 3rd verse refers to the black Betty woman u referred to

@deoncruywagen5191 Год назад

@@kenkonwick6660 I actually saw an interview with the lead singer. Someone managed to track him down a few years ago and had a phone interview with him. One of the things he asked him about was this song, and that was his explanation.

@jayell2805 Год назад

Actually, the horse is called Black Beauty. Lol Black Betty has Bern identified as a number of things. In this song, however, it sounds like a woman.

@theglanconer6463 Год назад

Black Betty is a horse :) It's Black Beauty, but close enough :) It's actually an ancient song from Lead Belly (one of the great ones) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SJUSGuNxt-4.html

@bobbern4567 Год назад

i think i know....... , its a horse😂. the horse you mean is black beauty its from a tv show from the 70#s and several movies

@SnowEfaust 2 месяца назад

If you missed out on the 70s, you missed out on life.

@debbers Год назад

Black Beauty was a horse! Black Betty is a combination of things! A type of gun/musket/rifle in the first verse, the second verse is about drugs and the last verse is about a woman. I see someone explained the musket to you pretty well, @angusrocks939, so I don't need to go into all of that, and the rest of the song is pretty self-explanatory! good luck with your channel, I subscribed here I think I must have forgotten to do it last time I was here, but it's done now. Thank you, I was entertained and enjoyed my visit with you! Deb
