My first 45 single record I bought when I was 9 years old,Rock n Roll will never die,I'm still playing that type of music with my band at the age of 62.
Memories of being at a flat at dawn to see someone who I knew in 1980. This song was first done in 1970 but I must have heard it somewhere that morning. Cold grey mornings and good times.
I have just returned from Stonor Park Oxfordshire, having seen Dave and Jools in concert!! Frid 7th Aug 2009, Fantastic music nice weather a few drinks (more than) Add up to a great time.... Keep rockin..
The best of pub music and that is a big compliment. It is the kind of music that will have everyone from grannies to grandchildren singing and dancing along. It's a crowd pleaser and isn't that what real music is?
Didn't think I would ever use these lyrics, but it turns out I've used them more than once. Thanks Dave. Yes I do know it was a cover, but this is the version I relate too.
Seen him 2 weeks ago at my local theatre he was a special guest with the Jools Holland Rhythm & Blues orchestra, and he fuckin rocked the place!!! what a legend!!
@Darnell1SimmonsLouk All due respect, Dave Edmunds nailed this for once and for all in the 70's, dig up his version, it really is definitive for vocals and groove and that quintessential ingredient of good rock and roll... menace...
I also thought he was like a prior Fogerty except CCR had a string of hits that JF wrote. One of my early Canadian bands had a deal with RCA London & did a few days of recording sessions in Wales in the early seventies on a farm-studio where Dave Edmunds did the original British hit record...fun place to work.
I seen Dave back in 1993 in Ventura, California. He was a cameo appearence with a short lived band called "The Flew". For those that don't know, it was a band put together by Joe Walsh. Nikki Hopkins WAS supposed to be on Keys but had health issues. They played this song and the "ROCKED!"
I'm convinced that Dave recorded an album of Elvis covers or at least an album that contained some Elvis covers, including Baby let's play house and possibly Mystery train but I have never been able to find any trace of it... Nice Fender Tele by the way, I have the same one.... inspired choice. Saw Dave live years ago, the guy really kicked ass. First time time I saw him he played for nearly two hours, went off, came back and said "Fuck it, let's play rock and roll" and did another hour....
On Twangin.... Dave included his version of Arthur Gunter's song Baby Let's Play House. Let's not give Elvis credit for the work of Black artists. ua-cam.com/video/zF-HkpAB_z4/v-deo.html
wow I'm from Canada ,and I have never heard of you ,you kick ass man ,I have heard Fats Domino do this song But I never heard of Dave Edmonds -Love You man ,Your my new Found Musician hahaha Rock On man ,Gonna go to the shops and try to find your Music .cheers
@@2011littlejohn1 Unfortunately yes... The first was a serial cheater, the second was a rip roaring alcoholic... She loved to fight more than f----k... I won't do it a third time.. It is cheaper to be single and celibate, than married and celibate.. You tube, predivorce paranoia, for the first, Plymouth county court house for the second.. 21 songs I wrote... Never get married...I won't go to jail for touching a female...
@@2011littlejohn1 Yea, I wish I had stuck with once... Neither wife could sing.. Fact they had no idea what to do with their mouth... Except yell at me.. They managed to ruin my attempts at playing in bands.. Second thought, I wish I never got married.. Predivorce paranoia, Plymouth county court house.. A divorce song for each one.. Plus, Girls weren't design to pump iron.. 21 songs I wrote on you tube..
SO I am Late. Mr J. Holland YOU have the POWER to have a TV CHANNEL which YOU could produce to EXCLUSIVELY show OUR great performers. Including yourself of course. Knighthood for you if I had my way.
John Lennon mentions how much he loves this song 5 hrs before he gets shot if you listen to the tape. The last song he mentioned he loved on tape before getting shot.
Smiley Lewis doesn't own the copyright to this tune, the writers do: Dave Bartholomew and Pearl King. Dave Edmunds pays them royalties every time he sings the song in public or sells an album. Ditto for everyone else who covers it.
@namejimmy , Thanks for your reply, went down to London this week to see Million Dollar Quartet, the female [Elvis's girlfriend] did a great version of this in the musical, I can really recommend this show, I would say it is the best I have seen music and performance wise, see it if you can.
Man I bet it friggin was! ICheck out Dave doing "Girls Talk" that Elvis Costello wrote.... I just love him & Nick Lowe (not in a dirty way!). Wales hey? Was it fun to touch the green green grass of home?!?!?!
Did we really have shows like this on New years Eve TV? I seem to remember that this show was diverse enough without being completely OTT woke like today.
I love this song, but don't know who originally sang this....... I've never heard of Dave Edmunds before........... Can anyone tell me who sang this song originally?? thanks in advance!!!!
The best British rock n roll exponent ever, but I feel sorry for poor old Smiley, before Dave Elvis ripped him off with One Night, Dave similar wIth 'Knocking' at least Dave mentions him in his hit single, but that don't put any money in Smileys bank does it.
Another Welsh Legend great musician.
Loved it when it was brand new, and now, years later, still do. Thanks Dave. September, 2023.
Ìam watching this in August 2024 i thnk dave is a legend One of the best guitarist ❤❤❤❤
Loved it when I was a kid still love it to this day
This was my go to song when my wife left me. And believe you me, she was not allowed to come back in
Know what you mean mate!
Congratulations 🙄
Hope you found someone better mate
Hope you found a beautiful replacement
My first 45 single record I bought when I was 9 years old,Rock n Roll will never die,I'm still playing that type of music with my band at the age of 62.
Such a great rock 'n' Roll tune. I remember finding it absolutely hilarious when I was a little kid. Now, it's just one of my all-time favorite songs.
They just don't come any better than this! Keep on Rockin Dave!
Great Rock n Roll! Just what I needed!
The old man rides my way...still standin and still the real deal...thanks Davey boy...
Memories of being at a flat at dawn to see someone who I knew in 1980.
This song was first done in 1970 but I must have heard it somewhere that morning.
Cold grey mornings and good times.
Dave Edmunds is a hero of mine. And always will be. He does not know this....but I love him like a brother.
Wouldn’t you want to sound like that years after your original hit. Go for it Dave
Listening in 2020, great song, but helluva year for the world and USA. Jam on!!!
I have just returned from Stonor Park Oxfordshire, having seen Dave and Jools in concert!! Frid 7th Aug 2009, Fantastic music nice weather a few drinks (more than) Add up to a great time.... Keep rockin..
Edmund’s , born a true heart and soul rock and roller.
The best of pub music and that is a big compliment. It is the kind of music that will have everyone from grannies to grandchildren singing and dancing along. It's a crowd pleaser and isn't that what real music is?
He'll rock until he drops. I love Dave Edmands.
Didn't think I would ever use these lyrics, but it turns out I've used them more than once. Thanks Dave. Yes I do know it was a cover, but this is the version I relate too.
This song was #1 in UK when I was born
Always thought dave was a master!❤
Man, that Tele sounds great. Killer live version of this song!
Was still killing it even then !
Memories of school....my theme song....
Treasure this guy while he;s still playing, they broke the mold.
MOULD
The most underated rock artist ever.Puts queen and other bands to shame,there not good enough to even clean his shoes.
Seen him 2 weeks ago at my local theatre he was a special guest with the Jools Holland Rhythm & Blues orchestra, and he fuckin rocked the place!!! what a legend!!
Still sounds great.
Seen him and Jools about 12-13 years back.Queens Hall.Edinburgh.Ruby Turner as well.amazing.Steven Boswell.edinburgh
Always be A number,1,for me.♥️
Interesting viewpoint. As long as he's still rocking, that's the important thing. Thanks..Keith
neveratime hn7
The music has stopped, sadly.
Still a classic...
Ultimate 'go away' song
Thanks for your comments Michelle. I am pleased that this brought back happier times for you...Keith
So good, Jools Holland is the man and this version is right up there.
That's all there is,
And there ain't no more.
Best Version of the song
Great song l love it
I remember the first time I heard this on WLS Chicago AM radio
Keep on Rockin Dave! kom to Sweden !

God music really takes me back. My mum died in 1973 and she used to play this. Reminds me so much of her, hard to listen to, but happy memories.
great song. it has been awhile since I heard it. it brings back memories.
No cooler ride than Dave Edmunds rockin' a Tele.
(And damned easy on the eyes!)
Love it.
real good hand-made rock -seldom heard. Thanks for uploading
Love this song - one moment - someone's knocking on my door - oh no !!
Jules' perfectly timed augmented chord at the end of the guitar solo is so good.
Kick it Dave👍
Wish I could have had the chance to meet him - Wales was pretty much straight countryside - unlike London itself - if you catch my drift...
An incredible variety of important rockers have been Welsh.
Still listen all the time.
I wuz 14yrs old when this came out I now almost 69er yrs young 😴
I have loved Dave Edmunds' music for years. I*n this video he loo0ks like Bilbo Baggins from Lord of the Rings. Rock Star Hobbit!!! Go Dave!
Funny because Peter Jackson used this song in The Lovely Bones. Maybe he's a fan.
Thanks Stephanie, much appreciated...Keith

Papa hatte seinen Spaß daran gehabt.
Aber man ist der alt geworden, so alt wie dieses Lied und ich.
@SpydersCorner good memories i hope. Thanks...Keith
Thanks to Smiley Lewis, Smiley also provided Elvis with One Night, but who now knows this?
Dave's new video for the single Again . . . Dave Edmunds Official Video 'Again'
I'm convinced that Dave recorded an album of Elvis covers or at least an album that contained some Elvis covers, including Baby let's play house and possibly Mystery train but I have never been able to find any trace of it... Nice Fender Tele by the way, I have the same one.... inspired choice.

Ihr penna jetzt höhrt ir mal ein Lied von den 70 Jahren
❤❤❤❤
Remember Micky Gee Dave? Micky was the guy who played lead guitar on your 1970 hit. #MickyGeeGuitarist
Yes mickey was a great guitarist used to see him a lot playing in pubs in cardiff with mickey gee and the gee strings
Don't worry there are some of us still left.
I like this song cuz it was in The Lovely Bones : )
Read the book, story makes more sense
Me too.
John Lennon mentions how much he loves this song 5 hrs before he gets shot if you listen to the tape. The last song he mentioned he loved on tape before getting shot.
He Reminds me of the singer in C.C.R John Fogerty
@SpydersCorner This reminds me of my school days too.
To był hicior !🤭👍🤠✌️🌹
HE BOSS
Geil!
Dave you are grouse!

Now play "Queen of Hearts."
Was that run dmc rocking out to this
The you go cheers hold on!
Did we really have shows like this on New years Eve TV? I seem to remember that this show was diverse enough without being completely OTT woke like today.
I lke this song, but I CAN'T THINK OF A GOOD REASON WHY?
Because it's blues, the fetus of Rock'n'Roll.
I get you! I lived in London for a few years when Dianna dies & Blair got in & the place was pretty charged, as was I most of the time!
Dead right!
Steven King movie
I love this song, but don't know who originally sang this....... I've never heard of Dave Edmunds before........... Can anyone tell me who sang this song originally?? thanks in advance!!!!
Darnell1SimmonsLouk never heard of Dave Edmunds ,this got to number one in the u.k and he had quite a few others as well .
@squizzoo No need to worry. I'm here. I make music like this, the real kind.
