No, he would probably hate being famous for just one character he voiced instead of his other passions like music or other charcter he voiced. Think about it from his perspective sometimes.
How this man's greatest legacy is not in music but rather voicing an evil scientist with a big butt and a great distain for a blue speedy hedgehog in a very popular early 90s children's cartoon never ceases to amaze me.
His music is spectacular. Check out his compilation "Boogie Woogie: The Warner Bros. Recordings". Such a shame it doesn't have mentions of SNOOPINGAS or PUSHY 😜
A unique voice, a great singer, a funny voice actor. Father of British Blues (along with Alexis Korner) and the "Pingas/piness" fad and a great historian of the British Invasion era as well. What an amazing memory he had!!!
Long John Baldry was like a dad to me. A father I've never had. I've been living in the streets full of scumbags for a long time. Great musician even in death.
One thing that's interesting about Long John Baldry is the fact that he was one of Elton John's closest friends in fact that's where he got the John part of his stage name from
Maybe its a good thing he passed away before his career was summed up as "PINGAS" I mean he wanted to be known for his blues and singing i think he would have been broken hearted if he had fans coming up to him like "SAY PINGAS"
Yes , I Wish he was Still Alive Today , He could have made another Really Great Blues Album , This Interview is Really Fascinating with the True story on how Rod Stewart and Elton John first met, I Hope Long John Baldry rests in Peace. ( 1941 - 2005 )
Him playing the lead villain Komplex in "Captain Bucky O'Hare And The Toad Wars" (a short-lived cartoon from the early 1990's and my childhood that sadly never really took off...) brought me to his music. Great singer and great voice actor. Terrible loss.... RIP.
Kind of like ‘Jason Wingreen’ who was ORIGINAL Boba Fett Voice, gets over shadowed by younger or just newer versions of Character smh Did you know there’s a Micheal Jackson who makes Beer wtf ?

God, I wished he was alive when his Robotnik became a hit. He died just one year before the first YTPs, remixes and even PINGAS!.
I think it's good he died before the ytp age.

@Stix N' Stones no it’s iconic
@@aestheticniro181 Oh yeah. Just imagine how much fun he would have at conventions.
To be honest I thought he was a hit back in the day with Robotnik. I don't let the Internet tell me what I should like or not like. 😉

Random he'd even end up with that job anyway. It seems beneath him.
I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!

The Other Half Of Elton John’s Name
Long John Baldry.
The Voice Of Dr.Eggman/I’ve Robotnik
A unique voice, a great singer, a funny voice actor.
Father of British Blues (along with Alexis Korner) and the "Pingas/piness" fad and a great historian of the British Invasion era as well. What an amazing memory he had!!!

This man is a treasure. He will always live on forever in our hearts.
Right. He was a awesome part of our childhoods.
He invented PINGAS.
Rest in peace. You were great.. ;_:
God, what a voice. Man was blessed. We were even more blessed that he shared his gift and talents with us all. Long live Long John.
might have gotten more people to look into his own music (Him playing Robotnik certainly did for me)
Rest in peace long John baldry you were the best Dr robotnic
One thing that's interesting about Long John Baldry is the fact that he was one of Elton John's closest friends in fact that's where he got the John part of his stage name from
Give this man a prrrrrrrrrromotion
@@ExpressoTheCat oh yea _(:3 」∠)_
The best Robotnik!
but not the best eggman
@@Yitsul That honor goes to Mike Pollock.
@@CalicoJackal You're both wrong, Baldry is the best Robotnik, but if he was in the OVA, he would've been the best Eggman.
SonicFan4Life 007 but his name is Eggman in the Virtua Fighter joke. Also, he’s still called Eggman you frickin’ reverse weeaboo.
I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!!!
Maybe its a good thing he passed away before his career was summed up as "PINGAS" I mean he wanted to be known for his blues and singing i think he would have been broken hearted
if he had fans coming up to him like "SAY PINGAS"
He would have shouted: NO!
His blues is very good
Might have wanted SILENCE!
PERMANENTLY!
I just love sharing a cozy hot cup of lapsang souchong tea
snooPING AS usual, i see... awwww, it so sad... RIP
+Jonh Smith lol, but I agree.
He not only saved Elton John’s life but blessed dozens of Sonic fans with “PINGAS”.
Rest in PINGAS Dr. Robotnik :(
Yes , I Wish he was Still Alive Today , He could have made another Really Great Blues Album , This Interview is Really Fascinating with the True story on how Rod Stewart and Elton John first met, I Hope Long John Baldry rests in Peace. ( 1941 - 2005 )

He was an amazing talent be it singing & acting. He's sorely missed
He was also Dr Robotnik in the adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog
Tom Waits
Best blues musician in America!
Long John Baldry
Best blues musician in Europe!
I love this guy so much
”I HATE THAT HEDGEHOG!!!”
You can still hear Dr. Robotnik in his regular voice. I think it's his curious accent.
Too bad he didn't get to see the fad from his character Robotnik, from dying in 2005
A cryin shame. He died the year UA-cam was born.
Deem Bristow also died in 05
*snooPING AS usual i see!*
Ivooo, IVOO! IKR!
@ZAPPSOFT He deserves PRRROMOTION for that.
DR Robotnik!
Oh Robotnik.
Well this was a interesting interview .
HE HATES THAT HEDGEHOG!!!!!
SnooPINGAS usual I see
... LittleKuriboh?
dr robotnik legendary voice
He's a cool guy but should a bluesman be this intelligent, well~informed, insightful and eloquent??
*PINGAS*
Kind of like ‘Jason Wingreen’ who was ORIGINAL Boba Fett Voice, gets over shadowed by younger or just newer versions of Character smh
Did you know there’s a Micheal Jackson who makes Beer wtf ?
He invented PINGAS.
