Ram jam did The Best Remendition of Black Betty😊
Ha YAY One Of THE **BEST** songs EVER!!! i ONLY **Wish** it was **Longer** YAY **Fantastical Reaction**
Hello Bimu nice to see young people appreciate the old tunes. Here’s a suggestion for you the band is SABATON ....the song is ....Christmas Truce .... This is a true story, the Christmas Truce of 1914 world war 1, between German and British troops. The cross still stands today. Very powerful and emotional song, A moment in time that should never be forgotten. Thank you for your consideration.
Thank you ! Excited to check it out !
This song has a long long history.... This video was recorded in 1977 on Long Island, New York. The lead singer is Bill Bartlett, he was the lead singer in a band called 'Starstruck' prior to being the lead singer in this video with the band in this video. Ram Jam did not actually play this song.... they just filmed it to look like they were playing this song. The music in this video came from the band call StarStruck with Bill Bartlett. Also, the music is totally from the StarStruck album.... but they did some heavy edits to that StarStruck song to make this song/video.....and yes, Bill Bartlett was in both bands... he purchased the rights to this song from the StarStruck band members and then created a new band called Ram Jam....Bill Bartlett is NOT the lead singer for this band (Ram Jam)... actually Myke Scavone is the lead singer for the band... but obviously not in this video... Myke Scavone is the guy clapping his hands on the left side of video....(Left of Bill Bartlett)
This song is actually a country music song..... check out Starstruck Black Betty....
He is singing about Betty Page... Betty Page is a white chick that was well known in the 1950's, and was known as Black Betty back then ... he just plain ol thinks she was sexy....
Search UA-cam for this> "The Story of Black Betty by Ram Jam"
This dudes YT name is Brutality In Buddha
He tracked down Bill Bartlett and got a phone interview with him and recorded the conversation... this happen 3 or 4 years ago, and Bill was like 78 years old.. anyway, Bill explains the backstory of how and why he choose this song to do a cover on....
The origin of the song started with Lead Belly, but Bill put his own twist on it....
Check out this video from a dude that got a phone interview from Bill Bartlett just a few years ago
This song goes further back than that. Lead Belly in 1939 was the first recording of the song but even then they were singing it as a pre-existing folk song. Possible that it dates back to 19th century work crew or slave songs.
Though I LOVE this version, (and what I originally knew) it's actually a cover from an older song. Often sung by prisoners doing heavy labor.

AND:
How music can really make a movie scene
(someone else played Black Betty to this scene in Top Gun Maverick, this isn't part of the real soundtrack, but it is good)

Thank you for the link !
First Bimu😂 So these guys were given 500 dollars to make a video and I guess they spent it on weed and they decided to film it in someone's backyard 😂 Can't make this stuff up 😂 I think the song is about guns they used in war of 1812 and they were made in Alabama. I don't know much more than that. Black Betty had a baby refers to a second gun they made that sometimes exploded when shooting it. Great reaction and Peace out ✌️ ☮️ 🙏
Really? HAHA, no way!!!
@BimuReacts The album version is longer and has a great guitar jam.
If you like a guitar jam Southern style, check out Lynyrd Skynyrd playing Freebird, live in Oakland 1977. You wil not be disappointed
Will check it out !
Urban legend is that this video only cost the band a bag of weed.
I WOULD HAVE NEVER GUESSED THAT HAHA! that adds to the vibe though haha. so simple and fun
