Yesterday I walked by a children's playground, a young boy aged about 6 stood by the gate, crying for his mother. I tried to comfort the kid, and thought of this song: 'I thought I heard a young boy crying for his mother ... you wouldn't hear a young boy crying for his mother'. HAD to play it today, got stuck in my head .... RIP Long John Baldry.

Long John Baldry, the man who was a phenomenon among the British blues and rock scene. Loved and admired by the best true musicians and artist of the day: Elton John, Rod Stewart, Led Zepp, Rolling Stones, Animals. He and Joe Cocker are true geniuses of there music. Never to be forgotten and a big part of my life.

When he played my campus pub in 88 I was on security and sat and chatted with him for about 45 minutes before his set. I think he was surprised that a kid from Canada knew so much about him. This was the album that turned me on to him. Unlike the Rolling Stones, I did not get discovered!

After Steampacket broke up in 1966, Baldry formed Bluesology featuring Reg Dwight on keyboards and Elton Dean, sax player, later of Soft Machine, as well as Caleb Quaye on guitar. Dwight, when he began to record as a solo artist, adopted the name Elton John, his first name from Elton Dean and his surname from John Baldry.

@@karyndavidson3136 Autotuned all to fuck and back, that's where. Before autotuners allowed poor singers to sound good, singers needed good voices. A musician with a mediocre voice could carry it if their musicianship was good enough. Also back in Baldry's day record companies invested real money in musicians and they had to be convinced that they would get a return on their investment so they invested in talent. Often that talent was refined over many months - years of practice. Today any twat can download a programme from the internet, "sing" over it, release it online and call themselves a musician. Perhaps the egalitarianism of that should be welcomed, but I'd call such people computer programmers, not musicians.

This version of the song was in an old 80s mp3 playlist of mine, put together early 2000s. Hadn't listened to it for about 10 years, until I wanted to convert that 2000+ songs long playlist to spotify. Came across this song, but the versions on spotify (even the live one) can't hold a candle to this one. Maybe it's nostalgia getting in the way, I know. But maybe it's the arrangement, maybe it's the amazing piano solo at the start, but most of all, maybe it's the way Long John's amazingly peculiar voice in the lower registers, changes into another beast of a voice halfway through the chorus. And while listening to it again, what about that depth of his voice during the outtro! What an amazing rendition this is. Just wow
