Guitarist Davy Graham playing Cry Me A River, as captured in a 1959 BBC documentary directed by Ken Russell on the rise in popularity of the guitar in Britain.
Just focus on this: Davy Graham's influence is undeniable. Paul Simon, in particular, interpreted Graham's style very well--"Anji" is a classic. The video is very cool because it demonstrates that Graham communicated effectively to the 'common man.' He didn't need pyrotechnics. He just played from the heart; EVERY note is believable. He could make people listen--that's what it's all about.
Yeah it’s def there. Weird thing is they got sued for the same riff from another band earlier than them. It’s like…people only do things for money. And that’s just really sad ~Garth Algar
its just the old school thirties picking mixed with blues riffs with minor key tonality. And they're all so beautiful. Davy Graham was a definite virtuoso
I had never heard of Davy Graham until I learned that he was a major influence on Jimmy Page, so I looked him up... I am SO glad I did! WOW!! This guy was awesome (and you can definitely hear how Jimmy Page was influenced by him). I'm a relatively new guitar player and I'm going to be listening to a lot of Davy Graham from now on!!!
@@josebarragan6627 That's the heart of Rock n' Roll! Do you think Elvis just made up That's Alright, Mama? Yes, Jimmy Page 'borrowed' a few songs, but he also reinvented them & made them his own.
@@randyforgo3275 lol Elvis didn’t say was his but like Elvis jimmy just copy blues songs! Borrowed? There’s no such a thing as borrowed songs look what happen with Ritchie valens song !
@@josebarragan6627 You're missing the main point. Jimmy Page reinvented every song he 'stole' and made it new and uniquely Led Zeppelin. Just enjoy the songs and quit being all high and mighty
This descending progression probably the greatest in all of music history let’s be honest here. It’s just super emotional and godlike. From Julie London to stairway and even granata it truly shows you that music is universal
A little bit of background information for you......the couple - who appear in this clip at Davys feet - founded the renowned Troubadour coffee house in Earls Court in 1954 (and sold it in 1970). Mike Van Bloemen died in 2009.
RebobBebop - very interesting.. who is the beautiful young lady with the balloon? I really love this short movie .. reminds me so much of the era, which it captures beautifully. Davy is a daily inspiration in my modest to play guitar better .. love the mixture of folk, blues and jazz, with the arabic rhythms and influence added in. Best wishes, Paul
I'm passing on a comment from a friend he wrote "The guitar is a classic model KESLER, but with steel strings and it is the guitar on which ANGI was originated. Incidentely, in writing, ANGI, Davy was at the time, 1960 listening to and playing "Dat Dere" by pianist Bobby Timmons.
Thanks, very interesting, was wondering about the little bag hanging off the peg head of the guitar, don't remember seeing someone doing that, is that an old folkie thing?....what is in there? extra strings?....
Led Zeppelin's Stairway riff adds an ascending sequence on top of the descending riff, (which is interesting in that a stairway goes up and it goes down, and so does the Stairway To Heaven riff.) Musically, though, this addition of the ascending line distinguishes the Zeppelin composition from any of the other similar tunes, especially considering that it is just the intro, anyway. It doesn't really sound like Stairway To Heaven until you add in the ascending riff on top of the descending riff and resolve the way Stairway To Heaven resolves. So Zeppelin developed contrapuntal lines and resolved the chord progression with other chords so it is a different composition than either Taurus or Cry Me A River. Led Zeppelin should win the court case. Davy Graham might have a shot at it though. Incidentally a similar note sequence occurs during the "You're asking me will my love grow" part of the Beatles song "Something" by George Harrison.
@@jamesfitzgerald6636don't be silly that chord progression.has been around for over 150 years.where would it stop how about the beatles Michelle as thats another old progression
The young lady is Sheila, Mike's wife. Ken Russell - who made the documentary on "The Guitar Craze" - from which this clip is taken - was a regular at the Troubadour at the time. The look he captured here - of post war Notting Hill - was captured magnificently by photographer Roger Mayle in 1956 (with his series of images taken over 3 days in Southam Street)
If you look hard enough online, Jimmy Page has a quote that Davy Graham can whistle to him for the money he owes Davy for white summer and Stairway. Like the one guy said, this here is the basis for stairway. Page was a huge graham fan as were many others.
This was probably the inspiration for both Zeppelin and Spirit… I wonder where Davy Graham got his idea from… as a musician myself I recognize its called "inspiration" … Money and copyright laws have ruined music.. just look at whats available today..
Omg so Spirit took from this song just the same so wtf are they (lawyers) complaining about??? The Davy Graham estate should now sue Spirit AND Led Zeppelin and make a mess! Haha Now all aside, this is a glorious song.
+AjaOfVeelox Giovanni Battista Granata, the 17th century Italian composer should sue all of them. This chord progression has become a cliche in popular music. So many artists have used it because the sound of it gets peoples attention. It is very dramatic and pleasing to the ear.
And then after that lawsuit, someone will find an earlier song that sounds similar to this lol People need to just realize that coming up with something that is 100% unique and completely unlike anything else in the world is nearly impossible
Thanks for this brilliant post. What an inspiration he was. This has inspired me to post a double video response - one of me playing 'Anji' at a gig, just about four weeks after his death - I dedicated it to him then and now. I haven't heard this clip of 'Cry Me a River' before, I guess the version we play also owes a lot to this iconic guitar player. Best wishes, Dave (Small days)
thanks davy for the intro to stairway..to the guy who said 1:04- 1:10.. its even more at 1:27 till the end.. the first 3 notes are from stairway. jimmy owes you and he admitted to it.. you were a big influence on my favorite band led zeppelin and i appreciate u passing on genius to another genius. rip a very influential musician
@BrikSwoony Actually, I remember reading more than one interview with Page (from the '70's, when he was at the height of his influence) where he gushes about Davey Graham (and names Renbourn and Jansch as influences as well). I also recall he mentioned that part of Graham's influence on him was his revolutionizing the use of altered tunings.
Some of the major riffs remind me of 'Santa Baby' by Eartha Kitt from 1953. A smooth combination of what was Santa Baby & the proto-version of Stairway... another masterpiece.
+penta15786 Giovanni Battista Granata, the 17th century Italian composer should sue all of them. This chord progression has become a cliche in popular music. So many artists have used it because the sound of it gets peoples attention. It is very dramatic and pleasing to the ear.
that sure is a young Davy! You can see how much he advanced technically in a short period of time if you compare the version of this song captured here to that which was released on 'The Guitar Player' LP. Inspirational.
Is this the same "Cry Me A River", written in 1953 by Arthur Hamilton.....Yes t is, therefore it would not belong to Davy Graham and it is credited to Arthur Hamilton on the credits when Davy recorded it and released in 1963. And if Spirit took this for Taurus and then Jimmy Page for Stairway To Heaven, then, Cry Me A Copyright Clusterfuck! This was recorded by 4 artists in 1955, most notably, Julie London. In my honest opinion, I think this is going to be dismissed because it seems that a lot of artists have used those chords including Arthur Hamilton and I agree if anyone should be suing everyone, It's the Italian Composer Giovanni Battista Granata, but according to human nature...where did he hear it from??? We will never know! And the songs sound alike in the opening chords, but at this point, who the hell cares! Because someone is going to use those chords again and again! And I love Led Zepp, but I also know that Page has had an itchy hand or ear and used other material without permission....and has been called on it in the past. This is very interesting though. I was a live sound and recording engineer and toured with bands and worked in various studios and there would always be an artist that would record "their" music and you would hear notes and chords and say to yourself....That sounds exactly like_____!!!! everything.explained.today/Cry_Me_a_River/ then click on Davy Graham.
+Joe Garchar Right! And don't forget the superb guitar accompaniment by Barney Kessel on Julie London's recording of the song, which obviously influenced Davy Graham.
There's a lot of similarities among chord progressions, still...Stairway To Heaven is far beyond this or Spirits song. For example, go listen to the intro of ELO's Overture 10538, then compare it to Collective Soul-December:) I don't recall hearing about ELO complaining.
+Lori A Come on! there are over 30 stolen songs from zeppelin. I dare you to find a band with over 30 stolen hits! a quote from the Simpsons: "There's Jimmy Page, the greatest thief of American black music who ever walked the Earth" Over 10 legal disputes they always lose. With Willie Dixon, Anne Bredon, Jake Holmes....
So, we are talking of songs that existed long time before being recorded. A good example is for instances gallow pole on zep III that as centuries of existence!!! Peace!! ;)
I dont know, but thats the point. We are talking of this subject because these songs were recorded and the thing whit gallows pole is that is a tratidional subject in english folk. Its like recording traditional portuguese songs and claim their ownership. Every musicologist will tell you that.
Take a look, and play particular attention to passages appearing at 0:19 and 1:02. Led Zepplin being sued by Spirit for stealing the famous riff to make Stairway to Heaven HOWEVER this 1959 film shows another guitarist playing a very similar riff! Case dismissed!
@techdudezz - This clip is from the 1959 BBC Documentary - 'Guitar Crazy'. I think Davey was only 19 here. Page + Led Zepplin were still kids when this was made. This came way before Stairway to Heaven ! Davey went on to discover and introduce to the guitar World - Modal D tuning - also called Celtic tuning (Dadgad) which Jimmy Page, Bert Jansch, John Renbourne + many others borrowed and used to make a name for themselves. None of them acknowledged his influence upon them !
8 years late but BULLSHIT. Bert Jansch & John Renbourn always, repeat ALWAYS gave credit to Davey Graham, and ALWAYS told an audience before playing one of Davey's songs, exactly who wrote the song. That is the difference between covering another artist who you admire, and what Jimmy Plagerism did, which was to steal from others and say it was his own, collecting royalties along the way. Page is a wanker.
Can we cut the crap about who stole this from whom? It doesn't matter. Here we have a superb guitarist playing a great tune. Listen; listen and admire.
@SGigante01 I've actually never seen the guitar pro version. I learned it from watching this video and listening, before that I used to play a version I made up but didn't like it so learned it properly the way he plays it here. I'll post the vid soon

Lol, I can hear it too.

Absolutely brilliant ... I just love this short movie... captures the era just right.
Haunting - Nice
AT 1.04 to 1.10 he plays the opening riff for Stairway to Heaven.
Just shows what an "influence" on other guitarists he truly was.
Yeah it’s def there. Weird thing is they got sued for the same riff from another band earlier than them. It’s like…people only do things for money. And that’s just really sad ~Garth Algar
@@kevinfager. THANK YOU. Im sick and fucking tired of idiots thinking Spirit actually wrote it. But also classical was using these progressions.
It's just a 'descending arpeggio', common to hundreds of pieces of music.
It sounded a little like "Time in a Bottle" by Jim Croce too.
@@peen897I listen to this song and Spirit way more often than I listen to corny ass Led Zeppelin.
The greatest acoustic guitar genius is gone. I am gutted. RIP Davey.

I've only heard, and been listening to Davy Graham for a few minutes now, and I can honestly say that I'm in love with his sound. It's perfection.
What a beautiful moment in time. Davey Graham a true gift to music. This is art at it's finest.
R.I.P Davey Graham.
You were a great influence on countless aspiring guitar players.
You will be greatly missed.
Yes! And Jimmy Page might be the most obvious guitar player to be influenced by Davy Graham.
He made an album with Shirley Collins "Folk Roots New Routes" a true folk rock masterpiece.
best folk album ever
1959. Now. Forget the balloon. Think about what a landmark in music this is. 1959!
that old lofi static with that guitar tone is just perfection
im glad 300k people have seen this, i havent watched it in years
A little bit of background information for you......the couple - who appear in this clip at Davys feet - founded the renowned Troubadour coffee house in Earls Court in 1954 (and sold it in 1970). Mike Van Bloemen died in 2009.

You can hear the influence he had on certain guitarist's amazing!So sorry to hear of his passing.
Extremely enjoyable video. This black and white footage is a treasure, and the performance is superb.

Thanks for the tunes Davy. Rest in peace mate...
Led Zeppelin's Stairway riff adds an ascending sequence on top of the descending riff, (which is interesting in that a stairway goes up and it goes down, and so does the Stairway To Heaven riff.)

It is Michael, Mike, my father sitting down listening but its not my mother, Sheila. She doesn't know who it is!
Just the right song to remember Davy with...

The London of my youth when the bombed out houses were still there
RIP Davy
One of the guitar greats adn seminal influence on many who have followed
What a beautiful girl! Now she is around 75...
Man thats some good listening
This was probably the inspiration for both Zeppelin and Spirit… I wonder where Davy Graham got his idea from… as a musician myself I recognize its called "inspiration" …

isn't the line cliche in the beginning somewhat related to some classical Spanish song ? I guess that would make sense with the title

i heard tale that jimmy page "wrote" a similar riff.. lol

check Stairway to Heaven, a song by the most popular cover band in history. also "taurus" by spirit
this guy is a genius. this souds like Led Zep's " Stairway to Heaven."
Yeah dude, been brought up near the start of the comments. I agree, I don't think Graham recieved trhe recognition that he deserves.
OMG spirit ripped this dude off!
@carschand true and also an instrumental by spirit called taurus
Rest in Peace, Davey.
