I learned how to play this song on guitar when I was 15 years old because my grandfather wanted me to learn it. I would play it at his house and he would start dancing and I mean every single time throughout the years, it was awesome! I'm 33 now and I'm still playing it. He passed away in 2017. I miss him. He'd say play Honky Tonk on your "get-tar"
Don't it?! I have the same sax and have the same mouthpiece (Berg) ordered as seen here. Knowing fully that I will never make it sound like Billy Martin. Gotta try!
Man this is Chicago/Delta Blues to the bone baby!! I have this record on my jukebox. The jukebox was my Grandfather's and I fell in love with this song when I was about 8 years old. I inherited the jukebox when my grandparents passed. I'm 42 now and almost have it down - in F - on guitar! I play this almost daily - it's my go to for doing chores around the house, laundry, and grabbing my girl for a quick swing around the living room!!
@Werewolf O. London, Esq. after reading your comment it made me think. I can't remember if I chose it or my father chose it. All those Japanese copies back then were hard on the fingers. I didn't have the best guitar in the neighborhood but it was the coolest looking one. That's all that counts right.
In about the year you got yours there was a Domino Californian in the front window of the local pawn shop. I used to stand there and drool at it. Couldn't afford it.
I was 16 years old and a junior in high school in the LA area when this came out. We had a couple of really great late night rhythm and blues stations and this was played all night long. Those were such great times to be young.
I reminisce hearing this on the radio way back. Took mom for a drive. When this instrumental plays. I said “ MOM!! Write this down. “. I found Billy Dogget cassette. Rock & Roll. Part One. Part two…we danced to. I dedicate to my Mom in Heaven To Hannah Elizabeth Johnson. I miss you.
Yes! In the key of F., mofos! Every time I jam this with someone they want to do it in key of E. I’ve been playing it F since I was 14 just like it was recorded!
Everything depends on the guitarist who prefers the key in Mi. Certainly the work of the SAX becomes more complex. Greetings. czcams.com/video/vemF2A-T7jk/video.html *BALLAD OF THE GREEN BERETS* Guitar & Sax in the style of *Duane Eddy*

2 bad mostly everyone in this clip is either dead or too old to do much about it. What great music, pity the machines that will run the future will have no need for it.
I have a jukebox. A REAL jukebox. A 1967 Rowe/AMI 100 45-RPM record jukebox..... this record is on it and it will remain there till I die. So there is a future for this music to be in my machine!
Do you realize how many times Bill had likely played this since he first cut it? Sure, you could say muscle memory would have undoubtedly contributed to a better performance here, but maybe he was just bloody tired at this point.
Great video recording, brings back memories. Wish tenor sax player had been more true to the original sax lead by Clifford Scott. He plays really well but made it his own version of Scotts licks. Not quite the same for me.
I feel the same way, but my view was contested a bit, here. I don't think there's anything wrong with asking for some tribute to be paid to Clifford's brilliant melodic phrases that so helped put the song on the map. The guitar player did a nice job in that dept. The more liberties you you take with the original, the more you start straying into the territory of just another generic Blues shuffle, even if you do have quality players. That's my take, anyway.
One more thing: You can hear The Band's Garth Hudson giving high praise to the great Clifford Scott (tenor player on the original H T) during their (The Band's) induction to the R & R Hall of Fame. This young sax man might be a good and serious player, but he'd have done Bill, himself & all of us a favor by listening a bit more and paying some homage to the melody (sax) on this great classic.
If Bill wanted him to do that, it would have been done. The original already happened, this happened when it did. This is spontaneous music, not a museum piece.
@@tewbaguy Well, that's another way to view it. The guitar player nicely quoted lots of the original soloing, & it didn't strike me as lending Part 1 the air of "a museum piece." The more you do your own thing with a classic like this the more it CAN start to approach an off-the-rack, albeit very well-played standard Blues shuffle. But, as I said at the beginning: "That's another way to view it." ..Just sayin..
Great song, but it was more of a blues shuffle with a sax lead - The original Clifford Scott's throaty tenor lead was on a completely different level. A little closer to Sax heaven.
Have to say.....and I love Bill Doggett...that he's not really locked in to the rhythm section here @0:27 He's rushing the groove. Either way I upvoted.

My Dad used to play this on his guitar when I was growing up. Wonderful memories and great music
That sax solo rips your soul apart and puts it back together with satification :)
Don't it?! I have the same sax and have the same mouthpiece (Berg) ordered as seen here. Knowing fully that I will never make it sound like Billy Martin. Gotta try!
born n breed on this music - still awesome sounds.
One of my late Dad's faves. He died six years ago today (7/19/16). Had to listen to it for him!
In very loving memory of Mr. William Ballard Doggett (1916-1996 R.I.P. // gone but NOT forgotten)

Uh, Philadelphia, actually. Philly was a HUGE R&B center back then.
It's a classic! Cut in Cincinnati at King Records.
He's playing a domino Californian guitar. That was my first guitar in 1966.
You were somewhat right it was a vox copy. I have many regrets. 😭

Great tune.

How perfect is this!!

I found Billy Dogget cassette. Rock & Roll. Part One. Part two…we danced to. I dedicate to my Mom in Heaven
To Hannah Elizabeth Johnson. I miss you.
A trully unique piece of music...laid back like the ears of a rabbit...smooth as Boone's farm strawberry wine... and moves everybody to dance.
And a bottle of Cadillac Club Nature Boy
Heard this on AM radio back in the days of my youth...lately it started replaying in my brain. Cain't never fergit it, as Festus says.
Bill nails it again. Love that Sax and Hammond Organ! Thanks for posting.

AGREED......F
Absolutely correct. Nothing grinds like the key of F. Play "Shake Rattle And Roll" in E and then in F. There you go.
F and Bb are my favorite keys to sing in
C is cool 🗝️.
Real musicians, right there. Good stuff.
There's fake musicians
WHERE ??you so called 'expert'-FOOL !!@@yeahmanmetoo5739
I love that guitar. The guitarist is great, awesome solo and great performance by the band, but the electric guitar is fantastic. Best ive ever seen.
Love it, thank you for sharing.
One of the best songs!!!
When music used to be "musical."
really terrific!
Awesome music - I always thought Bill Doggett was the Sax player - merci beaucoup
Great clip, thanks for the upload
just found this record but it was too scratched to play so I'm here now.
Ahhhhhh talent
The best
excelente obra de arte!!
DA SHIT PERIOD.
Cool for 1972 because 1962 and 1972 were like night and day.
So good !
Awsome! What great video work.

Love this.
Sax player talkin' to us. Swingin' hard jack.
Lenny Dee & Bill Doggett. Great 50's sounds
The right way to blow tenor in this context in my view...hope he made more than I do....
That lead guitar player aced it. Sounds just like the original.
Nobody sounds like Billy Butler, Pal.
Yea man, nobody sounds like Benny Goodwin! Dude was bad to the bone. That guitar's killer too.

Taylor Texas stand up!!!!…KTAE 1260am..The TONY VON show🎧🎸🥁🎶🎼
that is one minty looking Super 20 !
I have a really nice Super 20 Silver Sonic Tenor from late 1962. I ain't even nowhere good enough to deserve it, but Ill never turn it aloose.
The camera man should have focused more on the left hand of the guitar player when he was playing the lead.
2 bad mostly everyone in this clip is either dead or too old to do much about it. What great music, pity the machines that will run the future will have no need for it.
I have a jukebox. A REAL jukebox. A 1967 Rowe/AMI 100 45-RPM record jukebox..... this record is on it and it will remain there till I die. So there is a future for this music to be in my machine!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This cooks!
Every one just utterly nailed their part except maybe the keys which could have been considerably better during his solo but was otherwise great.
Do you realize how many times Bill had likely played this since he first cut it? Sure, you could say muscle memory would have undoubtedly contributed to a better performance here, but maybe he was just bloody tired at this point.
back when real music was made
Damn that guitar shape
I want the shape name.

Was this jazz or the blues??? What ever is was it was very sexy

Garth Hudson can play a mean sax, too!

what kind of guitar is he playing
+yawn jones It's a Domino Californian, made in Japan, and played here in France better than it deserves to be, and sounding boss.
had one. probably about $60 in 1965.
So, you're saying it's basically a student model, or something like that.
Domino Vox Phantom copy........
Domino Californian that was my first guitar in 1966.
Nice Domino Vox Phantom copy.......
Domino Californian that was my first guitar.
The downvoters to this just can’t swing. That’s their problem.
They clap on 1 and 3.

#ugottalisten2b4udie @1:59
Tenorman doesn't cut it
bullshit. he's killing it.
Sax man is good, but hes playing his own stuff, and its nothing like the record. Too bad. He ruins the song.
