ROBERT PARKER - BAREFOOTIN' VIDEO FOOTAGE 

When you think of the best memories of your life I bet this one is near the top.

That's awesome. Sounds like something I'd do.

Your dad was awesome 👍🏾👊🏽

Thats beautiful memories.

RIP.

Saw Robert Parker in the late 60's at the Frolikin Kneecap in Market Harborough. He will be missed, but his music lives on!

Sad news indeed. Well, at 89 he lived pretty well. Nevertheless, what a shame that life cannot last longer - especially keeping us in an acceptable physical condition. Barefooting excited and attracted several artists, but Parker has the original and most flamboyant version. Being helped by this beautiful green barefoot dancing girl. Pure nature, pure charm !Yves

Regret to hear of his passing. I was also going to Google to see is was still alive. But at 89 he live a Long life. I always wondered who sang this song, I have always loved this song. But I was a little disappointed, to hear the song, in my head I was seeing some smiling and having fun with the song. But he was just straight faced, no smiling, no having fun with it. But I still love the song. And him singing it, he did a good job with it.

That's so sad. Thank you you Robert. You made me smile. RIP

Me too! I was 9 years old and I was addicted to this song. By then the song was already decades old though.

Guitarist looks like Gatemouth Brown.

Who is that guitar player wild

Vladimir Putin's fav song..

It’s a fun song.

Yes I agree 💯 1966,year I was born 💖

The lyrics are well written and captivating, exposing at once in the 1st verse the contrast in behavior between staying a passive listener in one’s seat and ”getting on our feet”, body in motion. Then I love the way he connects his ‘infectious’ song with other R’n’B classics, Little Richard’s ”Long Tall Sally” making a remarked appearance in verse 2, while the intriguing ”girl with the red dress on” from Ray Charles’s ”What’d I say” is also present in verse 3, letting it all hang out and barefootin’ too! :) And he wraps it up with a ”Boy meets Girl” last verse with a fresh turn-around (she’s been barefootin’ since age 2, buddy!). Indeed it can never go out of style with such infectious and well-played r’n’b music and so much wit in the lyrics! Hail, hail, Robert Parker, passed away at a respectable age, but yes, living on among us with this little masterpiece! \o/

202 do you listen to this song 2024 listen and roll 💕💕🤩🤩🤩🤩❤❤❤❤😂😂😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊

I still have the 45rpm disk on Ron Records. My father bowled with someone who worked there. They let me into the stock room and said take what you want. So I have early 45s by Irma Thomas, Prof. Longhair, Bobby Mitchell, Eddie Bo and others on the Ric and Ron labels.

Remember this is 66; before her time.

@gloria hodge She was a bare-footin:)

@Zenon Antruzinon She sure was a bare-footin:)

She was a go go girl.

It's a dance called the mash potato.

Me neither. Not until I started "grounding."😂

Steve Ajao I noticed that too; helped this cut flow, and become a monster hit.

That's Clarence gatemouth Brown.

Excellent, excellent comment, and geet play’n!

When "Bare Footin'" was released, I was trying to teach myself guitar, but I struggled with different rock and roll styles. THEN, I heard "Bare Footin' on the radio of my 1956 Mercury, while I was crusing down Hwy 99 in Central California. My search for "The Sound" was over! That magical blend of rock, blues, and soul was everything I wanted. Eventually I got my hands on a red Gibson 335 guitar, and started playing "The Sound" professionally for the next 20 years, thanks to that querky, rhythm and blues tune, "Bare Footin'."

This song came on the radio today and at first I thought it was Chuck Berry but knew it wasn't quite right. Great song.

The guitarist that is playing the 335 is Johnny Jones.

Danny C actually, there’s a couple of tunes from the same date in which both Freddie and this guy appear; this guy has an ES with a Bigsby, Freddie’s playing a stop-tail. Also, Freddie had funkier looking hair...

Yeah I do remember them barefootin days, I stepped on a lot of glass because I was barefootin back then. I was only just little kid at the time. Lol!

Home of The Cool Gent, and Butterball, right?

Great singer song,yr I was born.

What the hell...go for it

The Young folks don't know nothing about barefoot and white go-go boots that was the best time of my life
