[TheJosapappa1000]

i just liked this... they did exelent songs <

[MFPhoto1]

@LICKMYNUTSSHITTYSIDE Wow! I bet it took your great mind a whole week to come up with that one! It will probably take two weeks for you to read this. Well, when one can only think of insults, it is a sign of a small mind.

[josaldinho1883]

one of my fav songs because hurriganes recorded in 70s also this song in finland..i would love to jam this some day and listend this lot

[DomSezXL]

This is a song for Michael Le Vell from Coronation Street.

[ILYAmbria]

jonny lang did the original! its 1000000000x better

[warrugul]

@ILYAmbria the first recorded version was by sonnyboy williamson 1 in 1937,

[MFPhoto1]

Terrible cover. This is a much to "safe" version of a clasic blues tune.

[DeedleDeedleDumplin]

Fun cover...

[carlosantuckwell]

Rod Stewart's version of 1964 is much better (and rare).

[DeedleDeedleDumplin]

@carlosantuckwell Ugh. Rod Stewart cannot sing :)

[carlosantuckwell]

@DeedleDeedleDumplin That's your opinion ("my son John" : ) I've never liked The Faces' recordings, or much of Stewart's solo stuff after that, but I can't gainsay Rod's voice - I think he's a good singer, even though his voice is not 'my cup of tea', but I do think his 1964 recording of Good Morning Little School Girl is excellent, similarly his vocals with Jeff Beck during 1967--1968.

I also think Rod premiered the Robert Plant style-of-singing on vinyl - e.g. "Rock My Plimsoul" 1967.

[DeedleDeedleDumplin]

@carlosantuckwell I should clarify. He may be able to sing, but it's his voice I can't stand. But then again, I can't tolerate Stevie Nick's, Bob Dylan's, The Beach Boys', Ke$ha's, Kanye West's, or Celine Dions' either :)

[carlosantuckwell]

@DeedleDeedleDumplin  Cool.

[HilaryK1Actor]

It is a cover. The original was by Sonny Boy Williamson I.

[HilaryK1Actor]

It is a cover. The original was by Sonny Boy Williamson I.

[7jeveritt]

listen to the jonny lang version it's amazing compared with this

[Montanarus]

GOOD MORNING LITTLE YOU ALL !!!!!

[wweecwcollin]

i like grateful deads cover too

[willwelsh816]

You can kinda hear clapton singing the highest harmony in this :) Funny how most of the high harmony guys in bands were the divas, but in this one, it was the middle harmony guy :) You can hear clapton pretty well in Hey hey hey hey part, he is definately the highest harmony.

[thezook33per]

This is a Sonny Boy Williamson I song. He's a blues harp player from the 1930's

[HonkyCat90]

Is this the first guitar solo Clapton ever recorded?

[PanLecoslav]

i love so much this song

[valerock667]

That's The Right Sound!

[nicodagger]

This song is NOT about doing 'the Stroll", unless by The Stroll they mean fucking.

[ohiosevere]

God rest Keith, love Clapton before he sold out. SRV died in vain on a heli to open for him, God rest Stevie's soul too.

[goonyougoodthing]

@ohiosevere i know stevie overcame drug addiction and then died in a plane crash aint life a bitch

[asmorgan88]

Holy fuck - everyone's talking about how great Clapton's solo is in this song...but it's truly fucking terrible.

[BurleyFuzz]

@asmorgan88 This is comming from a fan of Lady Ga Ga and "Pro" wrestling? Wow, I think your opinion just diminished to a pile of what's coming out of your mouth! Why don't you post a video showing us your guitar solo King Douche! Maybe you can show us how Clapton should have done it!

[asmorgan88]

@BurleyFuzz

Have you never watched an athlete on TV and said : "Wow - he sucks"?

You've gotta be shitting me.

[tuurism]

Muddy waters did a nice version too.

[floydphoenix]

Call me a bit of a dinosaur but what a great song! In my 50's now but do I wish they were somewhere about now!

[suffolkrocknroller]

[gorillazgal]

One of my favorite songs by the Yardbirds :) Such a great one!

[eisaysek1]

I like the original song played by Sonny Boy Williamson II better.

[palmettokind]

Clapton could make any shit sound genius

[PAULOcbi]

actually Clapton had "nothing" to do with production here,he was prolly asked to do endless takes as well ,

[palmettokind]

Yeah......actually I was refering to the solo. But thanks anyways little buddy.

[PAULOcbi]

yea so am I ,bye palsy,

[mattmayte5]

thats so true

[BrownsHeadDownToilet]

Would today's bands dare to record this song, with all the paranoia about today?

[cortinagxl]

Thought the same. Where did the days of innocence go?

[boo66]

My god, that Clapton chap's overrated!

[kolonelklink1001]

@BrownsHeadDownToilet

I very much doubt it...bloody do-gooders poking their noses in...

[jenzeppelin]

@BrownsHeadDownToilet :) this one is rather to the point, lol. but when younger people think our music was boring, i laugh...because most all of it was full of the dirtiest, wildest stuff ever...just worded creatively, lol. i freakin' LOVE it.

[westpoint64]

All you have to do to understand why Clapton eventually left the Yardbirds is just to listen to this song. Eric's solo on this song is one of the most marvelously "out of character' lead breaks in rock and roll history.

You can really tell on this how desperate that Clapton was to give the Yardbirds an edge that they either wouln't our couldn't have.

[westpoint64]

Should've been "an edge that they either wouldn't or couldn't have"...sorry...

[rhodesia789]

fuck Clapton, I'm glad he left and Jeff Beck came in at least he did something visionary instead of just wanting to play blues licks

[westpoint64]

Lol...yeah...you know, with the reverb and Keith and Paul Samwell-Smith singing, its so...well, almost "Neil Sedaka"...then here comes Eric as "Robert Johnson", roaring in to mess up the soda shop hop!

[091053JG]

Eric looked so preppy in those photos. He must have 18 - 20.

[091053JG]

When Clapton left, the Yardbirds were so lucky to have been able to replace him with Jeff Beck.

[avj182]

not only the yardbirds were lucky to replace clapton with beck, but clapton was also lucky to have found the bluesbreakers and then cream and after that still have a sucessful solo career =)

[lustewart77]

los yarbirds fueron la gestacion de artistas geniales ... clapton, jeff beck, page, todos musicos espectaculares ...

[westpoint64]

I guess "Road Runner" by Bo Diddley or Link Wray's "Rumble" might qualify.

[tialkjacques]

great song

[robinmod]

The original version is, i think, from Sonny Boy Williamson

[almanacofsleep]

Has any one put up his song?

[titostacos]

Is this a cover? Where'd they get it? It's funny how it sounds so cute and AM radio and then Clapton sounds like he's ready to be in Cream. Y'know?

[jmanmoonwalk4]

This is cover I can't remember who did the orginal,But it sounded nothing Like this. It's a Blues song. The original didn't sound this innocent. I Like this song a lot. How do you Clapton solo, wasn't it Great.

[RonaldDumsfeld020]

@jmanmoonwalk4

Sonny Boy Williamson is credited on the label but this version of the song was written by Don Level & Bob Love according to the BMI

[Breatherable]

@jmanmoonwalk4 Good Morning little Schoolgirl was first recorded in 1937 by Sonny Boy Williamson, another great version is by Ten Years After.

[wickedblonde96]

@Breatherable The TYA version is just awesome.

[TheRockinRelic]

@jmanmoonwalk4 This was originally done by Don and Bob on the ARGO label in I think 1962 but maybe 1961. I love the original but this one's pretty good too.

[madtiger111]

@jmanmoonwalk4

This is innocent? This is Wooderson boderline pedo shit, too!

[zombiefan83]

@jmanmoonwalk4 10 Years After , maybe

[nocokejustpepsi]

@jmanmoonwalk4

Both versions are great, i believe the original was John Lee "Sonny Boy" Williamson

[madtiger111]

@jmanmoonwalk4

Yeah. The original sounds more like "Sir, would you like to take a seat over here?"

[ZephyrOrDie]

@jmanmoonwalk4 I believe the original is by muddy waters.

[Samalamalamdam]

@jmanmoonwalk4 It was a Sonny Boy Williamson song.

[westpoint64]

I know!! That is one of the things I have LOVED about this song for years!! It's almost like Robert Johnson in the middle of a Rick Nelson song.

I mean, here's Keith Relf and somebody else singing about soda shops and dancing at the hop- stuff straight out of 50s teen dreaming...and here comes Slowhand Eric Clapton himself, roaring in! That has GOT to be one of the MOST out-of-character lead breaks in rock and roll history.

In this song, you can really hear why there was soon to be a rift.

[almanacofsleep]

Yeah its buy Sonny Boy Williamson 1, not 2 but one. John Lee not Aleck Rice Millar, not the one who has loads of videos posted on youtube. I know its confusing.

[rockinjet1]

had to go through alot of learning in John Mayall's bluesbreakers before Cream

[titostacos]

yeah, I'm going to agree with that. Clapton sounds like he's ready to leave for the Bluesbreakers. He kind of looks like it too in those photos!

[westpoint64]

I agree...that's what is wonderful...that "Clapton sounding like he's ready to be in Cream" is really true. I love how he just roars in like that!

[stOOpid68]

nice post Mr.Moonwalk!!
