Dave recorded this by singing through a telephone to recreate the sound of the small am radios he listened to when he was a kid.
I had no idea!!. Thank you.
You're welcome!@@Music-Is-Real-Love
Woah. That's awesome
Girls talk is a true gem from this critically underrated artist. Thank you Rob Squad for bringing him to your audience, you guys are on a roll recently bringing up some artists that have slipped the collective consciousness. ✌️
"Girls Talk" is a great song. Written by Elvis Costello & also recorded by Linda Ronstadt
@@markallen2984True, true. But Dave Edmunds version of "Girls Talk" is my absolute favorite version of that song.
(Girl's Talk) Oh absolutely! "Queen of Hearts" (hit for Juice Newton in the USA) was a smash (cover) hit for Dave Edmunds in the UK but the Juice Newton version was pretty much unheard of here! Loads of brilliant hits by Dave such as "I Knew the Bride", "Crawling from the Wreckage", "Sabre Dance", "Dynamite", "Deborah" ... loads! Another brilliant track (featuring Dave Edmunds on guitar) is Nick Lowe's "Cruel to be Kind" 🥰
@@joannecunliffe8067 Wonderful stuff on this list. Girls Talk, I Knew The Bride, Queen of Hearts. Love him!
@@chrisnaylor8938 Me too! 🥰 Another completely different band I love (totally different - sort of prog rock-ish) I think Jay and Amber should review is Barclay James Harvest e.g. "Cheap the Bullet" ( czcams.com/video/rGQN-4iRZmU/video.html ). So many brilliant tracks "Mockingbird", "Welcome to the Show", "The Joker", "Hymn", "He Said Love", "Victims of Circumstance", "Capricorn" , "Galadriel"... too many to list.
I won a beer in a bar once. The band said they'd buy a beer for anyone who could identify this song. I shouted out the title while they were still playing the intro. After the set the guitarist bought me a beer and we chatted for a while.
Awesome!!!! 👍
Huge Dave Edmunds fan. His early ‘80s band with Nick Lowe, Rockpile, created some excellent rock ‘n’ roll. BTW John Lennon said he loved this song in an interview, which pleased a then-unknown Dave Edmunds greatly.
Rockpile is one of the best bands ever!
Yes, some Dave/Rockpile, Nick/ Brinsley Schwarz, Elvis Costello, any number of pub rockers would be great to hear. :)
As a proud Welshman you should also know that Rockpiles drummer was another Welshman, Terry Williams who would later become Dire Straits' drummer for their most iconic period
Check out his song, I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll, fun song
He wasn't unknown - he'd already had a top 5 hit with Sabre Dance.
Edmunds is a well known and very good British guitar player. He often played a rockabillie style.
Welsh
@@mithrasrevisited4873 Thank you. cool to know 🙂
@@garyarnett1220Welsh=British. 🤗
@@mithrasrevisited4873 That's still British lol!
@mithrasrevisited4873 All the characteristics associated with "British" are related to the English...the Scots, the Irish, and the Welsh have distinctive Celtic-based cultures that are not "British", particularly their traditional Scots Gaelic, Irish, and Welsh languages...
Amber and jay, one of the names you hear Dave mention during the chorus, "Smiley Lewis" first recorded this song in 1955. Dave included this song in his 1972 album, "Rockpile" which has many great covers of old 50s songs. Rockpile was also the name of his band in the late 70s and early 80s. Dave also collaborated with and appeared in Paul McCartney's 1984 musical movie "Give My Regards To Broadstreet" which I saw in theaters when it came out. Dave also produced the band, Stray Cats and The Fabulous Thunderbirds, (which Stevie Ray Vaughan's brother, Jimmy, was a member of).
Fats Domino did an awesome rendition of this also. Love their version
I'd sure like to hear someone react to The Fabulous Thunderbirds!😊
@@loisrogers9042 Maybe you could suggest it, Because they've been ignoring my suggestions for 3+ years. But I suspect its because I'm not a subscriber or don't email suggestions. There's always a catch of some sort as to who these reactors give priority to regardless of what they say about "Oh we read ya'll's suggestions from the comments" and "You know our motto, we gotta give - the - peo - ple what they want", lol.
Yes. Amber was right when she heard the 50s rock sound in this.
Classic song. Love Dave Edmunds!!❤❤
-awesome !-
Such a good song. This could be in a comedic film. "Queen Of Hearts" and "I Knew The Bride" are others to check out.
@Missy-mb3fq 😇
Although I prefer Nick Lowe's version of I Knew The Bride.
SHOCKED. Dave Edmunds ROCKS. So surprised to see y’all Reacting to Him. BIG Fan of Dave Edmunds since the late 70’s.
Dave’s got Many cool solo Songs, like “The Trouble Boys”, and He performed with Nick Lowe in their Band “Rockpile” and had the 1980 Hit “Teacher Teacher”.
@Missy-mb3fq I understand your personal leanings as me Mums Mum was from Belfast. I’m kinda partial to Northern Ireland Bands, like SLF.
❤Love this version! I Hear You Knockin' is a rhythm & blues song written by Dave Bartholomew. New Orleans rhythm & blues singer Smiley Lewis first recorded the song in 1955 & reached #2 on the Billboard R&B singles chart.
Thanks for the info. I've only ever heard this version.
Thanks. I've only heard the Fats Domino version ( as well as Dave Edmunds' ).
Cool info! Never knew this was an old R&B tune!
The Smiley Lewis version is awesome.
Edmunds name drops Smiley Lewis in the break section, just before calling out Chuck Berry (around the 2:24 mark in the video). Edmunds was greatly influenced by the '50s rock & roll originators, both solo and with his band Rockpile.
One of the GOATs of guitar playing. Love Dave, Nick Lowe and Rockpile ❤
Jay & Amber, you'll love his "I Knew the Bride(When She Used To Rock n Roll)", "Girls Talk", "Crawling From The Wreckage" and more!!!!
Todays song is from 1970, and he had hits thru the early 80's.
edit- in the song he mentions Fats Domino, Smiley Lewis, Chuck Berry, Huey Smith, Bob Dylan. Smiley Lewis first recorded this song in 1955.
Huey "Piano" Smith co-wrote "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu" by Johnny Rivers!!
Crawlin' is hilarious, and it rocks!
I remember him back in 1968 with Love Sculpture and their (minor) hit "Sabre Dance"
Great suggestions 💖
You will love I Knew the Bride. His group Rockpile is a great source for those songs.
Actually, it was the (great musician) Larry Knechtel who played the Piano on the popular 1972 hit recording "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu" by Johnny Rivers. Larry Knechtel also played & created the famous Piano part on "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" by Simon & Grafunkel as well.
Reached the top 10 twice by two different artists...once in '55 and again in '70. Love the song...another memory trigger. ♥
In the early 1980s, Edmunds was a member of Rockpile, a supergroup of great British rockers. Edmunds specialized in retro-Rock, nostalgia for the 1950s being big in the 70s.
My favourite of his hits is his cover of "Girls Talk", an upbeat song written by Elvis Costello.
The funny thing is that Rockpile only released one album, but recorded together on a bunch more, as members Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe were on different record labels. So they recorded Nick's songs for Nick Lowe solo albums and Dave's songs for Dave Edmunds solo albums.
A great old rock song. Dave Edmunds is big in the U.K. He played with Ringo's All-Star Band. ☮💜🎶
Dave Edmunds was also in a band called Rockpile and one of their bigger songs was “ Teacher, Teacher” so I thought you might enjoy it. Edmunds solo songs” I Knew the Bride(when she used to rock ‘n’ roll) & Ju Ju Man are great rockers too.
I have to say, I prefer Nick Lowe's version of I Knew the Bride, produced by Huey Lewis. Both versions are great though!
"Girls talk" by him is even more impressive in my opinion
Dave Edmunds played with Ringo Starr in his traveling all star band , possibly in 1995. The venue was called Harbor Lights in Boston. When he played this song the crowd went crazy. Everyone was waiting for it. He didn't disappoint. Sounded just like the record.
''I Knew The Bride When She Used To Rock and Roll'' is well worth a listen.
Girls Talk is a great song!
Dave's version or Nick Lowe's version - both are great.
@@keithosmond5730They have done Nick Lowe's version.
@@QueenoftheBlackCoast I remembered seeing someone react to it, but couldn't remember who.
Originally done by Smiley Lewis in 1955 and is more piano driven . Was also done by Fats Domino after Smiley did it.
I think you'd both love David Lindley's "Mercury Blues". David has played with many other artists: Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, Dolly Parton to name a few. David played steel guitar on Jackson Browne's "Stay" and was that falsetto voice Amber was asking about back then. He was known as the guy who could play anything with strings. Sadly he passed away in March of this year.
Dave Edmunds comes from Cardiff, Wales. Born April 15, 1944. Have a listen to Nick Lowe, Cruel To Be Kind. Dave Edmunds plays guitar on it. Great video based around Nick's wedding
Man, I haven't heard this in a looonnnnggg time. Thanks for the nostalgia hit.
Dave has such a great voice ! I’ve seen him live a number of times. Girls Talk is a favourite, written by Elvis Costello but First recorded by Dave. He lived near me in Wales 🏴
Me and a friend of mine saw Dave Edmunds at a club in Cincinnati back in 1994. He played every song we yelled out for on the spot, great show. Dave Edmunds is true Rock & Roll. He was in the band Rockpile with Nick Lowe, another artist you should check out. Dave also produced the first few Stray Cats albums.
Such an underrated artist.His version of "Almost Saturday Night" is definitely the best!He also managed the "Stray Cats".
Well that's ironic, as he was in a group called the Stray Cats in the 1974 film Stardust. As was Keith Moon.
Every time I here this it makes me think of Lee Michaels song "DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN" which I think you would also like. Keep up the great reviews!!
Finally. I have requested this several times. Made my day❤
I have a Do Not Disturb doorknob hanger card from the old Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas and it says, you guessed it, "I Hear Ya Knocking, But You Can't Come In." LOL Thanks for more great songs!
So glad you found this underappreciated artist. Dave always came strong with the blues/rockabilly sensibility. My two favorites of his that are definitely worth a reaction are I Knew The Bride and Slipping Away. You won't be disappointed.
That’s more like it, Dave Edmunds, great music, great voice. 😎🍺
This was released in 1971 and we played the hell out of it at the skating rink. It is in my top five all time favorite songs!
I am so glad that you have found Dave Edmunds. He is a really great guitar player with a wonderful history. Before this he was in a band called Love Sculpture, and he released a really cool instrumental called Sabre Dance that is based on a piece of classical music that he interpreted with his guitar. Shortly after this he hooked up with Nick Lowe and formed Rockpile. Nick and Dave were on different labels as solo artists, but they played on each others records as Rockpile. Dave released a ton of great songs like Girl's Talk, I Knew The Bride, Queen Of Hearts, Singin' The Blues, Crawling From The Wreckage, Slipping Away and so many more. Although Dave is from Wales his music always leans toward Rockabilly and American Country. Rockpile are definitely New Wave and started releasing these songs in the late 70's and into the 80's. Rockpile finally put out an album under the band's name called Seconds of Pleasure, otherwise Rockpile just played on Nick and Dave's albums. Dave 'Edmunds and Billy Bremner played guitars, Nick Lowe played bass and Terry Williams played drums. You should definitely listen to some of Nick Lowe's songs too. He's a great songwriter. They were also good friends with Elvis Costello. In fact Elvis had a big hit with Nick's song (What's So Funny "Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding.
Elvis had a hit with one of Nick's songs and Dave had a hit with one of Elvis' songs!
I well remember Love Sculpture in the late Sixties! They had a follow up minor hit with “Farandole” after Sabre Dance which was based on a work by Khatchaturian. Another great track I don’t think anyone has mentioned yet is “Get out of Denver”. He also played a few times with Dion (The Wanderer) and live versions of these are brilliant!
A really sad track by Nick Lowe was written about a victim of an underground station fire in London who remained unidentified for many years after the tragedy. It’s “ Who was that man”.
Dave Edmunds pretty much kept rockabilly alive in the 70s and 80s. He had a group called Rockpile, collaborated with musician Nick Lowe and covered this song, Almost Saturdau Night from CCR, and a lot of 50s remakes.
One of his bestsongs was called I Knew the Bride When She Used to Rock and Roll. He also recorded Queen of Heartswhich later became a huge hit for Juice Newton in America.
Dave Edmunds also produced some of the tracks on Built for Speed by the Stray Cats. The two biggest hits, Rock This Town and Stray Cat Strut were both produced by Edmunds.
This is an old New Orleans song by Dave Bartholomew and Smiley Lewis. Back when I played on Bourbon Street we played this song almost every night. The old version in the 50's was loved by many over the years. Mom and Dad had the song on an old 78 rpm record back when I was a child. I've literally heard this tune my entire life, in one version or another. Dave Edmonds recorded it using the Telephone setting in the studio. It gave the vocals the sound of singing over an old telephone.
As was written in another comment Dave Edmunds is from Cardif, Wales as are many stars from the British Isles including Tom Jones, Mickey Gee and many of them played together there. Also as has been written here the song is from N'Alins from the '50's. Dave and his brother spent some time playing music here in Vancouver, BC. He indeed used a telephone line for the sound of his voice in the beginning of this song. Also he is the same age as me, born in 1944 and is now 79.
Good job ! Dave as my near neighbour and his daughter went to my mum's nursery school when I was a teenager and knowing he would deliver her I would play Love Sculpture loud as he approached... little did I know some 40 years later I'd be rehearsing with him in a studio..me playing drums.. check out Sabre Dance to see how good a guitar player he was.. difficult song for me to learn to..😂
I haven’t thought about that one in a while. You should do a deeper dive into Dave Edmonds. Way underrated.
You hear Dave shouting out Smiley Lewis's name, as well, and this is actually a Smiley Lewis song. Smiley was a New Orleans R&B artist who died in 1966. Dave at this point in his career was known for cleverly reworking older songs; with his previous band, Love Sculpture, he had had #5 hit with rock version of the classical music piece, "Sabre Dance".
Dave didn't go back to Love Sculpture, but he did join another band. As I mentioned when you reacted to Nick Lowe doing "Cruel to be Kind", once Nick left his band Brinsley Schwartz, he embarked on a solo career, but soon Nick and Dave wanted to form new band, called Rockpile. But as they were under contract to different record labels, they couldn't formally join a new band together until the contracts ran out. So they basically made a Rockpile album together, but all of Nick's songs (including "Cruel to be Kind") were on a Nick "solo" album (even though Dave plays guitar) and all of Dave's songs were on his "solo" album, even though Nick played bass on that. Then after all that, they got to record together officially as Rockpile…and only lasted one album and split up.
So you have a wide selection of things to choose from. You have Dave with Love Sculpture, Nick with Brinsley Schwarz (the song "Peace, Love, and Understanding" is better known for the Elvis Costello cover version, but it is NICK's song, so no reeson not to hear the original), both Nick and Dave' "solo albums" thate were actually Rockpile (try "Love So Fine" on Nick's album or "Crawling from the Wreckage" on Dave's) and also the official Rockpile album ("Teacher, Teacher" comes from that.)
Dive on in!
Dave is a good rocker that many people aren't familiar with. He has a blazing hot rock cut "Crawlin' From The Wreckage". Terrific song.
This was the first single I ever bought and brings many memories. Great Welsh guitarist and singer-songwriter who was particularly highly regarded by his peers. Many other tracks to dive into - 'I knew the bride', 'Girls talk', 'Queen of Hearts', 'Singing the Blues', He has collaborated with Jeff Lynne of ELO, and toured with Ringo Starr's All Star Band and Paul McCartney amongst others.
Joe Walsh from the Eagles does a banging cover of this song.
Johnny Kidd & The Pirates "Shakin' All Over"..R.I.P. Johnny 🙏❤️
My daughter learned this song on guitar and sang it..she was11,she knew the words at 3.
Released by Huey Smith and the Clowns in 1955...got to #2 on the R&B charts. Dave Edmunds version came out in November 1970.
I like his song Slipping Away ! Girls Talk and Crawling From The Wreckage are also great .
Excellent choice for a reaction video! Thanks so much!
Dave Edmunds plays different styles well. His first British hit was Sabre Dance with the band Love Scupture in 1968. Classical Music in a Rock style. Then he hit all over with I Hear You Knockin'.
Dave Edmunds was part of Rockpile which recorded the Nick Lowe hit Cruel To Be Kind with Nick Lowe on Bass and Vocals. Rockpile was the band for Dave Edmunds cover of Elvis Costello's Girls Talk, which is one of my favorite Dave Edmunds hits. Rockpile had the single Teacher, Teacher.
Dave Edmunds produced The Stray Cats early hits. They back up Edmunds on his cover of George Jones The Race Is On. Edmunds has the hit Slipping' Away.
Dave Edmunds worked with lots of artists as well.
Dave Edmunds is very underrated. He appeals to rock and rollers, Pub rock fans, and in the 1980s was considered New Wave despite just being himself.
I remember this song! ❤️💕 I had it on a ‘45!
I love seeing yu youngins listening and likin these tunes, enjoy
Awesome version done by Dave Edmunds!! Try "Almost Saturday Night" or "Girls Talk" next.
Big Dave Edmunds fan. Give his song "Crawling from the Wreckage" a listen. I also love his version of "I Knew the Bride"". His version wasn't the first. But it's my favorite.
Dave Edmunds was lead guitarist with s 60s band called Love Sculpture who had a hit called Sabre Dance based on a Khachaturian original classical piece - its a manic piece of music!!
I can remember buying the 45 of this in 1970 (I think). Loved it then, still do. It’s amazing how we get attached to our teen music memories.
One of my earliest memories of listening to the radio. I googled, apparently he is still alive and in his 90s!
The piano in this song is incredible! Very complicated and highly accomplished. Ding!! 😂
I didn’t know of Dave Edmunds until I saw the video of Slipping Away on MTV. The song was written and produced by Jeff Lynne.
There are some great videos on CZcams of Dave Edmunds on an Elvis tribute program performing "Blue Moon of Kentucky", "Good Rockin Tonight", and "Paralyzed"...he definitely was born to rock 'n' roll...
Yeah, this song came out in 1970 and I've loved it since then. He later started a group with Nick Lowe called Rockpile that came out during the New Wave era. While not their biggest song, I'd recommend; "I knew the Bride when she used to Rock and Roll", more throw back early rock vibes. I know you guys would love it! Peace
I like Nick's version of that song, and Elvis Costello's version of Nick's song What's so Funny 'Bout Peace Love and Understanding and Dave's version of Elvis' song Girls Talk. Confused yet? lol!
He also played lead guitar on the legendary 'Sabre Dance' hit by the group called Love Sculpture in 1968.
Played every instrument, mixed, produced it. Massive hit in the UK.
a great song by this great singer is " Crawling from the wreckage "
Dave Edmunds did play a slide guitar on this song, which Rolling Stone described as "a stripped-down, straight-quaver rock-and-roll approach" back in the day. Dave Edmunds also recorded the song "Queen of Hearts," although most of us in the US of A are familiar with the version by Juice Newton.
Dave did so many good songs, hope you both go down his catalog several more times.
'Slipping Away' was his top 40 hits from the early 80s -- great energetic song!
A MUST HEAR classic,, Ian Gomm "Hold On"
This is a remake of a song that was done by several different artists in the mid-1950’s. Dave gives a reference to that era, by naming several artists….Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Smiley Lewis, Huey Smith. This song was recorded by Little Richard, Smiley Lewis, Gale Storm…..check ‘em all out.
Rob Squad you kids never cease to amaze me. Great song and I love your reaction to it. Keep on rockin` and I`ll be a lifelong fan !!
Dave Edmunds is awesome! “Girls Talk” (the LIVE version!), “Heart of the City”, “Crawling From the Wreckage” is a must; also “I Knew the Bride (When She Used to Rock n Roll)” is a blast! A great rabbit hole to venture down
Dave Edmunds, Keith Moon, David Essex, Ringo Starr and a host of others are in two movies called That'll Be The Day, and Stardust. A brill snapshot of times gone by.
Thanks Rob Squad for mentioning this classic tune from the 70s. I absolutely love it; the lyrics maybe a little sad, but the guitar strumming is phenomenal!
There was a thing called “Rockabily”. Dave Edmonds, Nick Lowe, Rockpile, the Stray Cats… it was fun and it was a jam. 😁💖
I was a big Dave Edmunds fan back in the 70s. I saw him live in 1979 as part of the band Rockpile, great gig. I Knew The Bride is a great tune, written by Nick Lowe who was also a member of Rockpile, and Sweet Little Lisa featuring the great Albert Lee on guitar.
Dave Edmunds has a really interesting musical past. I first became aware of him with a one hit wonder group Love Sculpture and "Sabre Dance". He worked a lot with Nick Lowe and Elvis Costello in the 1970s.
Dave was part of the legendry 'Carl Perkins & Friends' concert.
I’m glad you picked up the tributes and went back to the 50s/60s. This song was written and recorded by Fats Domino and definitely worth listening to the original.
I really love the 70s retro stuff from Dave, Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Blasters…
Keep rockin
Great blues record! Check out his 'Queen Of Hearts' and 'Girls Talk', both hits and both superb! 😎
Dave Edmunds had his first hit, an instrumental guitar version of, "Sabre Dance." His band was called Love Sculpture. Dave has been around for a long time, playing with George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Jeff Lynne, Carl Perkins, etc, etc. If you liked that you'd really like, "Queen of Hearts."
This song reminds me of my old accounting teacher. She was always so strict and everyone was afraid of her. She once made a small joke while referring to this song. No one in the class knew what to say or dared to laugh then.
Dave Edmunds produced the comeback album for the Everly Brothers in the 80s. There's song on it that you might like - "On The Wings of a Nightingale," written by...Paul McCartney!
I totally love that song ! .. One of very my faves by The Everlys .. I didn't know the Dave Edmunds connection, so thanks for that .. Great recommendation !
Crawling From The Wreckage is an incredible, driving tour de force. Girls Talk has a mid 60's pop rock sound. Do Crawling, you will love it.
Great rock's energy. A favorite of mine and glad you guys played and enjoyed it.
Dave has always been a retro-rocker. Check out another retro hit from Hurricane Smith (the same year) called "Oh, Babe, what would you say?"
Dave and Nick Lowe were both heavily influenced by rockabilly
SO MANY GREAT SONGS BY DAVE, GIRL TALK FROM 80s AND I KNEW THE BRIDE WHEN SHE USED TO ROCK AND ROLL, ITS A FAST BANGER
It's called Rockabilly. Check out his duet with Carlene Carter, Baby Ride Easy. Yes, she's from That Family; and was also married to Nick Lowe, who produced Edmund's records.
Dave Edmunds "Crawling From The Wreckage"
Saw this live when Edmunds toured with Ringo's All-Star Band. In the same set I heard Joe Walsh perform Rocky Mountain Way" and Burton Cummings perform "American Woman".
Yes! Pretty much anything from Dave Edmunds will be worth your while listening to.
I would always run to the radio and put my ear to the speaker when this song played.
Got to see him in concert in the early '80s. He was fantastic! Check out: Me and the Boys, Crawling from the Wreckage, Girls Talk, Here Comes the Weekend, Queen of Hearts
I Hear You Knocking was a huge hit among other artists in the 1950s. Incredibly enough, I Hear You Knocking was Dave Edmunds only top ten song in the U.S. His only other top 40 hit in the U.S. was Slipping Away in 1983. It was produced by Jeff Lynne of ELO. Worth checking out.
rhythm and blues song written by Dave Bartholomew. New Orleans rhythm and blues singer Smiley Lewis first recorded the song in 1955. Dave was a great producer for other artists and this is his own version, all pumped up too.
Dave Edmunds played every instrument on this. Extraordinarily talented man
His career ran solidaly through the 1970s and 1980s when he released "Girl Talk", a new wave classic
A song from my youth.... I was fortunate to see him at a club in Milwaukee
LOVE Dave Edmunds! Gotta do Bad is Bad (with Huey Lewis on harmonica), Crawling From the Wreckage, Not a Woman Not a Child and so many more. Both he and Nick Lowe were in the band Rockpile. Saw him live with Dion, Graham Parker, and Kim Wilson from The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Great show and such a fun artist. Hope you check out more.
More Dave Edmunds please! "I Knew the Bride (When She Used to Rock and Roll)", "The Trouble Boys", "A1 on the Jukebox", "Girls Talk", "Queen of Hearts", "Born to Be With You", "Almost Saturday Night" - it's a deep well of hits and good stuff..
"I Hear you Knockin'" - originally recorded by Smiley Lewis. Subsequently a version by Fats Domino (as a piano-heavy number) in 1961, but never a huge hit for him - on either side of the Atlantic. Dave's version hit number 1 on the UK charts in very late 1970 and made the US top 5 as well. On Dave's version his lead vocal is filtered to sound like he's singing it down an old style telephone line, but the vocal doubles on the main chorus line are fuller fidelity and slightly delayed which gives a great effect. It was a very unusual sound in 1970s and grabbed attention.
Contrary to what you may think, Rock and Roll hits were not at all rare in the 1970s. Of course R&R is not a precise definition, but in the UK for example the band Showaddywaddy had a string of hits which fit that mould, some were old numbers some were new. Others that spring to mind "California Man" by The Move, and I think most of Alvin Stardust's UK hits could also be described as R&R (Buddy Holly himself would have been pleased to record "You, You, You" I think!).
This a great song from the 70s. Big radio and dance hit.
I remember this on the radio so much , when I was growing up!
He was also in the band Rockpile. You would love their song “Teacher Teacher”.
