Was in a pub in the west of Ireland one night, there was a great local band playing. It was way past closing time, the bar was full, the doors were locked and the band were still playing. The cops showed up and were pounding on the door and the band started playing this song! The whole pub started singing along, it was priceless! 😂

You went away and left me long time ago Now you're knocking on my door I hear you knocking, but you can't come in I hear you knocking, go back where you been I begged you not to go but you said goodbye And now you're telling me all your lies I hear you knocking, but you can't come in I hear you knocking, go back where you been, oh yeah You better get back to your used-to-be 'Cause you're kinda love ain't good for me I hear you knocking, but you can't come in I hear you knocking, go back where you been I told you way back in Fifty-two That I would never go with you I hear you knocking but you can't come in I hear you knocking, go back where you been

Still have my Love Sculpture album with IHYK from way back when. But just to note, since it's not coming up in the first tier of comments: this was originally performed in 1955 by Smiley Lewis (have that album, too) & written by Dave Bartholomew - there's a Wiki - DE is just one of many '60s-era Brits who loved early R&B, often covering &/or incorporating it into their work. Smiley Lewis' version is smokin'' hot New Orleans style.

This is a good version, but the original was sung in 1958 by Fats Domino. Looks like a lot of people think this originated in 1970. I listened to this when I was just a little kid and I’m old! Kind of. 😊
@@brianforgie7724 thank you. I didn’t know that! I remember that song from when I was a kid and I just assumed that Fats Domino wrote it. I guess if it happened before I was born, it never happened. 😊
@@whitebirchtarot ya no problem. I never heard that song until Dave Edmunds did it lol. I am a fan of Dave Edmunds I have like 15 albums of his various projects. Great cover and he does great covers. Dave has his fingers everywhere from Stray Cats to Dion . Talented dude. Peace and love from 🇨🇦
You’ll find, as noted elsewhere here, Dave Bartholomew wrote it and Smiley Lewis was the first to record it using Dave Bartholomew’s band and with Dave Bartholomew producing the record-way back in 1955! Unfortunately for Smiley, Gale Storm, an actress and pop singer, released a version in 1955 also-which Bartholomew thought sank Smiley’s version (Bartholomew called Storm’s version “whitewashed”). The Fats Domino version didn’t come out until 1961; however, Bartholomew was involved in its production.
@@ursula8568 wow, thank you. I didn’t know all that. I guess it came out the year I was born which is why I don’t remember it. I remember the 1961 version. I also remember Gale Storm.
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 did this best about 1955, Fats domino did an OK copy in 1961 or so. I don't remember Little Richard making a copy at all. This guy updated the tune with the guitars but the words "I told you way back in 52" should have been updated to at least 72.
Not really. Listen to Edmund's modified lines where he mentions the names of other musicians who recorded this tune before. Crybaby Richard (Penniman) never recorded it as far as I know. The tune has roots back to the 1920, but was really pushed by Dave Bartholomew via Smiley Lewis in the 1950s. Maybe you mix it up with Little Richard's "Keep-A-Knockin", but that was just a wild and cruel yelling spree. Dave Edmund's interpretation of the Bartholomew original was my all-time favorite. It opened up my ears for earthy Rhythm'n'Blues, leading me to the original blues and boogie woogie music all this is based on. 1950s Rock'n'Roll was just a watered down version of the real thing, dating back to the 1920s and 1930s. The originals were the real heroes; without them no Stones, Beatles or even Edmunds etc would ever have gotten famous. The youngsters all stole from the old black guys who composed these tunes, and hardly saw a dime for their great contribution to the music business.

Gotta love those speakeasies. I attended several late night hangouts at bars that were “closed” during my times in the UK. Good stuff!
Cardiff 1992. Honeymoon. Lock in. Gentlemen got a whisky, ladies a wine. Dave Edmunds is great
Brilliant story
Love it... I just wish I could have been there....as an English guy... to share that with you blokes and lassies.... To share some life!
Ah yes, Fridays are good crack alright.
Just good old fashioned rock and roll here in 2023
I'm in a Rite Aid in Washington State and there's a CD of this band for $1...yea, I'm buying it! Good fine! Love the old Rock and Roll.
One of the best songs of 1970

no its not from the 70s ists from 1952 Smiley Lewis
Dave Edmunds covered it in 1970. it was a huge hit.
First am intro for me. This got decent airplay then. Great Song. Musically true to the recording
Dave Edmunds was one heck of a rocker!!
First 45 I ever owned. . . . Well . . . . Stole from my big sister in the early 70s. Still a favorite of mine.
What a tune. My uncle Micky rocking the tele there ❤😊
written by Fats Domino and his partner, Dave Bartholomew...
@@tedhill5224dude..what?
Im.so happy to hear these old songs . Mr. DAVE EDMENDS sounds so great. ❤ I love his voice and style..
A true masterpiece of rock.
Believe it or not it's a cover from the late 40s or early 50s , gale storm sang it to orchestra music

Song written by Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew...
We had the best music
This was written by Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew,his musical partner.
I have the original by Smiley Lewis on an Imperial 78 RPM record and the Dave Edmunds version on a 45. and love them both.
Fats Domino also had this on a 45 - backed with "Jambalaya"....
You went away and left me long time ago
Now you're knocking on my door
I hear you knocking, but you can't come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you been
I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
And now you're telling me all your lies
I hear you knocking, but you can't come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you been, oh yeah
You better get back to your used-to-be
'Cause you're kinda love ain't good for me
I hear you knocking, but you can't come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you been
I told you way back in Fifty-two
That I would never go with you
I hear you knocking but you can't come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you been
LOVE THIS SONG❤
John Lennon loved this song and would play it over and over in a loop. It has such a classic fifties feel!
Saw these guys at a midday concert at the LSE in the early 1980's...........just fabulous!😊
Ein Wahnsinnssong ! Danke D. Edmunds
Brilliant! Always loved this, always will!

Would be great hearing Dave Edmund's playing the 2022 halftime show than Snoop dog and his posse
Anything would be better than that CRAP...FFS.

Yep, and good riddance!! :}

Was thinking when first hearing it that this song was from the fifties.
That guy can really sing I didn’t know
Love this cover version. My favorite. Gale Storm did it first
Nope, Gale Storm was a cover--the original was by Smiley Lewis on the Imperial label.

I like Fats' version (released as a single) best.
His reputation as a guitarist is diminished by shitty camera direction. His solos aren’t covered too often.
Just as good 55 years later
Shortened version. I want my money back.
