Gary "U.S." Bonds - "Jolé Blon" (Live) - ABC TV - 'Fridays' (1981)

It's Jole Blon, not Jolie Blond, and Springsteen and Bonds put out

this version in 1981 for the Dedication LP, not 1982.

calchick82 is correct. Jole Blon is an old Cajun classic performed regularly by various Zydeco and Louisiana-style bands including the great, late Clifton Chenier.

I haven't heard this song in ages! Didn't Bruce Springsteen write this song for Gary? I vaguely remember something like that. I know that Bruce would do "Quarter to Three" in his(back in the day)4-5 hour shows!

@calchick82 Jolie Blond is a traditional Cajun song.

@calchick82 Moon Mullican did the original "rock" version back in 1946. Bruce and Gary just collaborated on this one back in '82. One of the bigger early 80's hits from Friendly City Rock, WTCS, Fairmont, WV...
