You know, I think the Robotnik UA-cam Poop videos are about the funniest damn things I've ever seen, but as a casual fan of blues and rock AND a gay man, it's really fucking cool to know how important Long John Baldry was. I heard Elton John recall that night during an interview on Fresh Air, and my interest was piqued because while I'm aware of songs like "Baldry's Out," and I still find myself humming "Everything Stops for Tea," i really had no idea how important he was. I know the point of his career wasn't as a pioneer in gay representation, but it's still really cool to know.
i went insane when i found out that someone saved my life tonight was written about long john baldry, i almost cried. that is so insane, what an awesome guy. i only knew him as like "Oh he voiced Robotnik in AOSTH, and also had a music career at one point cool." (thats still high praise his roll in AOSTH is unironically probably my favorite vocal preformance of all time.) BUT NO! ELTON JOHN NAMED HIMSELF AFTER HIM! AND HE WAS ON THE BEATLES' ICONIC BBC SPECIAL. WHAT THE HECK! HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS! complete chad, super awesome guy, and incredibly underated. thank you so much 9 year old video for giving me a new appreciation for one of my favorite vocal preformances ever.
yer welcome!
I was almost disappointed there was no pingas.... until there was one. Good movie
i miss long john baldry
Cool video ben
PINGAS
Gone but not forgotten
And now YTPMVs have brought the whole thing full circle!
I cannot believe it took me this long to find a informational video about Baldry at this high of quality. Amazing video, friend.
Hey thanks!
I Really Hope You Make another NoteBook Doodle Video Just Like This One, Also I'm a Big Long John Baldry Fan, I Loved his 1976 Album Welcome to Club Casablanca. I Love It.
Big fan of Baldry from way back. Wonderful and enlightening piece of work on a great artist and musical influence. Thanks!
Boooooshie woooooshie
Ben, this was a really creative and amazing video! Its almost like watching Vcause in a way. I loved how you just at the last second secretely put " PINGAS" there. I was really hoping /expecting it, as it is one of his famous lines in his voice acting career. The thought of the man behind "Pingas" being a very important person in the history of music in Europe is mindblowing really! I saw Elton John in my hometown in Skien, it was an honour, but the connection with Long John doubles the honour. I have actually seen a person whom has known the famous Long John! Thank you
That's really sweet of you to say, thank you! You're the first one to notice the "Pingas", by the way. I was hoping someone would!
Secret pingas? where?
really sad this got taken down. really enjoyed this video and would watch it from time to time
I've since reposted it to Vimeo. Tell your friends! vimeo.com/benhauser/rickdanko
Very cool videos, I got sent here from The Band's Facebook page.
Rick Danko and Baldry good choices ! btw - skiffle kick started a lot of things in the UK. How about Roy Buchanan or Lonnie Donegan next)
This was great. Want to see more!
Great video man, thanks from argentina! Love what you are doing, I hope I can see more!
Great, No.#2, always come back to see it. Breath Hard
That's awesome news, Ben.
Just between you and me, I'm coming dangerously close to finishing a second one...
Hey Ben, this is one of my favourite things on the internet ever. Please do more of these. I'd pay good money for the Dennis Wilson version!
That was captivating. Great job on that!!
That was great!
thanks for sharing -- last time I heard your wonderful uncle was Mid 90's up in a little town of New Mexico -- just a duo .. Glad you were able to be a driver/door person/ niece >> all for Rick -:)
Please please please do more of these videos!
Great! I love Rick Danko and I love all your doodles of Dylan and The Band. Glad I stumbled across this...it made me smile. :)
I saw the later Rick with the later incarnation of The Band in Nashville in the 80s. It was at a place called 328 Performance Hall. Rick was great, triumphant even. He was having such a good time and the crowd was loving it. I remember seeing him with his fists raised in the air and smiling and laughing and sweating. We were all so in the moment together that night. I'll never forget it.
THANKS FOR THIS. cant think of many cooler bassplayers than the dankiest rick danko
I loved this! I would like to see more like it.
Definitely NOT an "obscure" rock star.
This is so nice!
well done.
Found this looking for chords for (when you awake) love Rick,don't know if I love you,have to think about that
I found this piece while I was looking for chord progress
Danko**
I love Rick dank, this was amazing!
Yeah, I have a cat named Danko in honor of Rick. :)
GREAT video Ben! Only one problem: it's too short. Please make a video like this for the other members of The BAND.
I love The Band, & as many other's (my generation) especially Rick Danko, wow what a man! I cannot listen to "It makes no difference" or "I shall be released" without crying. Very beautiful. I love the doidle thing also, perfect atoterrio 70's music is REAL MUSIC!!!!
I love Rick and I really dug this! TY!
I NEED MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS ON THE BAND!!!
This was a great vid on a great man. I didn't care for the "Daffy Duck" reference though. I own a copy of his solo album on vinyl that I found at a thrift store, and whadda find!
That is bullshit. This vid is the best and Rick would not have spoken words like you did, ever.
Man, what a great video! Well told story and great pictures! RIP Rick
I don't know. . . when I run into people who don't know who The Band was, I feel pity for them or think they are sadly ignorant. I suppose I learned of them through my old Dylan addiction. Long ago. This doodling stuff is absolutely great---hey you should do the story of Mississippi John Hurt or Pete Seeger.
muito legal ! beautiful !
Very Awesome. Beautiful and truthful. I can dig it
Thank You so much for this
Rick Danko was one of the greatest rock singers ever, and he made it to the top of the music industry with his soulful singing. To call him obscure and to compare his singing to daffy duck is just an insult. I don't think he was goofy just a guy who loved to sing.
