    An old blues classic turned into a 60s RnR classic. 👍

    It is very, very disappointing that this version is edited to miss out the guitar solo. ☹ Even with it, it is still a short song.

      Yes! Love the longer version, perfect accompaniment to a madcap car chase or something.

    I never thought much about it, but... You fellas ain't wrong. Whoever filmed and edited that backyard hillbilly vid (back in 1978 or whatever?) did a helluva job. The angles he caught and the way it syncs up with the album track? Impeccable work. Even if Ram Jam's career didn't quite pan out? Well, this song and video will, righteously, live on forever.

I had to watch again, LOL!!!! too Funny !!

    Here in the Great North Country of Minnesota, I grew up in a small rural community. The place to hang out was a place to come for coffee and lunch, open 7 days a week until 11pm.
    In it was a jukebox where savvy kids knew how to turn up the volume when "Black Betty" was on. I vaguely remember some of the older crowd languishing over a cup of coffee, and muttering angrily when this song come on, full volume of course.
    The best thing was a local owner that provided these jukeboxes to the surrounding area, didn't change out his records very often and the boom boom of that bass-heavy song was heard for a long time.

  • @denisem6790

    Allegedly a GRANDMAS backyard on Long Island NY. I lived there. That's how we rolled back in the day. Backyard parties. This song was a BANGER🔥🔥🔥 when it first came out. Everyone jamming it. Read up on the History of " Black Betty" as a nickname for muskets. Yes...guns. Misfired a lot. So this band resurrected an old song, then turned it into lyrics about a woman from Birmingham Alabama. Why not❗Fun jam🎵Every REACTOR on UA-cam has just loved this song.

    • @Telephonebill51

      "Black Betty" and "Brown Bess" were painted and unpainted varsions of the standard British Long Land Pattern .75 caliber musket. Both went bam-ba-lam.
      Both were named for Queen Elizabeth.

    Of interest to me as I never knew this, the lead guitarist was from the 1967 one hit wonder Band, The Lemon Pipers. Also this song was produced by Kasenetz and Katz, the Founders of Buddah Records and the Bubble Gum Sound of the early 70s. Also another fact I didn't know was the Band was from New York City, I would bet the mortgage they were southern boys, LOL!

    • @bradsense7431

    It almost doesn't seem like the same song without the whole middle later section, but it rocks anyway. Good catch on the video editing; I've done some of that too and I've always thought this was really well done. And just think about how much more difficult it would have been back then in the analog world before Digital Audio & Video Workstations.

    Several people are mentioning the short version and the long version. There are multiple versions of the same recording. There is a 4+ minute version that was played on the radio which was the first one that Airplay Beats reacted to. There is a shorter AM radio version of about 2 and a half minutes. Both of these use the same video, this reaction being the shorter radio edit. Then there is a long version of 7+ minutes that was played on the underground FM stations of the day. Here is the link to the long version. ua-cam.com/video/-T2tnf23lyc/v-deo.html

    The Ram Jam versions are all chopped up versions of the original recording by the singer, Bill Bartlett, in a band called Starstruck. Ram Jam never recorded it, they formed because of the song and this video was made to promote it.
    Here’s the Starstruck version, it's a little mind bending hearing new parts that were cut for the re-released version.

    The relationship between external factors such as inflation data and the Federal Reserve's decisions and their impact on the cryptocurrency market, particularly Bitcoin, is truly intriguing. As the financial landscape undergoes rapid transformation, it becomes crucial to recognize the increasing significance of alternative assets like Bitcoin and embrace adaptive, innovative approaches. In the midst of these market shifts, it is commendable that individuals like Tammy Brockman are thriving by utilizing effective trading strategies. Her success in amassing 32 BTC within just three weeks highlights her profound market knowledge, expertise, and well-deserved reputation as a visionary in the world of cryptocurrency trading.
