Obviously a great talent, this version is right up his street, though he and MJ made the best record of 1973 with 'Wild Love', it used to bounce off my turn table and still gives me shivers every time I hear that intro, they certainly don't make them like that anymore..........broke the mould when they cast MJ.....Rock on Ray.
I'm cruel surprised the version of "Knockin' ...". It is something special. The reaggae rhytms are amazing, unexpected & so fresh although so ... old!!! Awesome, bravo MJ!
Hes a Shoe in for the "Hall of 1.5 hits"! Or the "Hall of Hey i remember that song". I mean C'mon, you put Mongo in the same group as the Stones, Floyd, zeppelin, Who, Skynyrd, Dead? Mungo has 1 real hit. With that and his "Character" made him a great opening band for festivals around the world.
I hear you, if Ray had sould his soul he would have been at the top today. But the fact that he didnt sell his soul and yet wanted to become big, says alot. He has alot more kharisma and character than the other in the top layer that actually sold their souls. Nah Ray and Mungo Jerry still got that spark of life, They maybe only had 1 real hit but they deserved alot more.
Or Ray Dorset at least. He was very inventive in many ways and did great music over a long time. He was working a full time regular job when he wrote "in the summertime" which I think was very innovative, and he had to ask his boss for time off since it became the number one hit :-) That's worth a rock and roll hall of fame recognition in my mind
+gary bevan Hi gary - i saw mungo jerry for the first time a couple years ago in New York he was great - i know ray for almost 10 years he is a great guy - thanks for stopping by
This is great! Truthfully, I like it better than Dylan's. I am so glad I stumbled across all this great music that Mungo Jerry and Ray Dorset have done. I love good kick ass blues!
This cover should have been a HUGE hit; at the time of its release, reggae-inspired bands such as Police, Madness and Bad Manners were doing well in the British hit parade, so it had the right sound for its time.
Mungovision being a lyricis and performer myself I love to listen to music and to me mungo jerry and his band were the best I ever heard, very talented guys
Never knew how much I like you!Literally like,not love,cause I'm a men!Summertime was first,when I was teenager.Now listening "Hello it's you again!" and I'm sixtyfor now!Have fun!Thank you,dude!
I so enjoyed hearing this! I didn't expect to. Few remakes can meet or exceed the original. I agree with Bob! Best remake of this song! uh...Dylan that is!
Lyrics to Knockin' On Heaven's Door as recorded by Bryan Ferry Mama, take this badge off of me I can't use it anymore. It's gettin' dark, too dark to see I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.

Nádherná hudba, božský kľud pri nej.
Ray Dorset needs to be added to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Di much talent, so under rated.
Božská skladba prevedena v podaní Ray Dorseta.
Ten song v Tvojom podaní je je najlepší. Si proste božský. ❤

Ray did a great job with this song - its said Bob Dylan likes this version the best
The best version of this greatest song.Simple masterpiece for everybody!
An excellent rendition by Ray and the band.
Hey, Mungo Jerry for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. C'mon.
He sure deserves it!
Hes a Shoe in for the "Hall of 1.5 hits"!
Or the "Hall of Hey i remember that song".
I mean C'mon, you put Mongo in the same group as the Stones, Floyd, zeppelin, Who, Skynyrd, Dead?
Mungo has 1 real hit. With that and his "Character" made him a great opening band for festivals around the world.
I see you know nothing about Mungo Jerry
I hear you, if Ray had sould his soul he would have been at the top today.
But the fact that he didnt sell his soul and yet wanted to become big, says alot. He has alot more kharisma and character than the other in the top layer that actually sold their souls.

V Tvojom podaní to znie najlepšie, máš k tomu perfektný krásny hlas. ❤❤❤❤
Best version ever of this song.

Lyrics to Knockin' On Heaven's Door as recorded by Bryan Ferry
Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Mama, put my guns in the ground, I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down, I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Mama, take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore.
It's gettin' dark, too dark to see
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
