Meet Me With Your Black Drawers On Gloria Hardiman

[crazyeyebrowman]

Nice copyright rant, I agree whole completely. One of the videos that I put up that was blocked in some countries for copyright was "Hokum Blues" by Coley Jones. The guy doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry. I feel like I am trying to do them a favor by helping to promote an obscure artist and they refuse. They are content to try and hide this old material so they can focus on new releases. Meanwhile they fight like hell to make sure nothing ever enters the public domain ever again.

[Sambergler]

When she belts out "Yeeeahhhhh!....." at the end its the best.

[Sambergler]

You should hear this song off the album through genuine Voice of the Theatre Loudspeakers! Killer.

[harryparker59]

This used to play regularly on " The Breeze " Beach, Boogie and Blues - 99.7 in South Carolina

[Sambergler]

This song make every hair on my body stand straight up! Dig this dancing number. Get down!

[JHuggyBear1]

Tommy! This is SUCH a good song, and until I stumbled upon your video, I couldn't find it anywhere. I used to do this song in a band long ago (I'm a keyboardist / vocalist). I agree w/you—I don't want to 'rip it off' or sell it to others or claim that it's mine. Airwaves used to be free. Now don't get me wrong, people in my family were, or are presently, professional composers, and they should get royalties. (I still can't understand how folks get away w/sampling, unless they're paying for it.)

[mcutrone221]

one of the best carolina shag songs

[Sambergler]

I dig the hell out of this song.

[WingsinWinds]

first time I listen to this song...it's nice! thanks for posting!

[cbphillyguy]

Tell the Copyright holders to kiss a tree or something. I don't download this music for personal use. It's just nice to be able to hear things that you cannot always find in the record store, nor just about anywhere else! Have they never heard of fair use in the Copyright laws? Thank you for posting.

[jaquenuno]

It is sad that there are only two songs from this great lady

uploaded to youtube.

[mario27604]

Thank you for the great music. Every time I hear this song, I want to dance. This may be Chicago Blues, but it is a standard at every club in Myrtle Beach and a West Coast Swing staple. Thank you so much.

[billyhjackson]

Gloria is my great Aunt, and what a talent she is!

[busessuck1]

@billyhjackson I just read somewhere that Gloria was ZZ Hill Jr's aunt... are you his kid?

[randymemphis]

Dam good stuff..... thanks for sharing with the youtube world..

[Evian622]

I actually heard her perform this, having been involved with the Chicago blues scene for a time. She had the most amazing blues voice I have ever heard, before or since!

[MisWesa1]

I had the honor of meeting Professor Eddie and Miss Gloria when they played in Charleston, SC! Truly FABULOUS Chicago Blues!

[rhaneyntokyo]

I remember sneakin' in to the Silver Moon on the South side when this played. I didn't get far inside but everyone was just sitting there. They needed to get up and put they black draws on.

[chirokid23]

Meet me with your black draws on? Oh my lol

[avchavis]

Roll me like a wagon wheel! Love it!

[katharine46]

Thanks so much for this posting. Big Eddie was a very close friend and Lil'Eddie is very special in my life. The Professor inspired me and continues to this day.Although he did not write it, this tune by fabulous Miss Gloria Hardiman, gives us warm memories and rememberences of how the Blues is supposed to sound like! RIP Eddie, thank you for all you taught me about music, the Holy Spirit, and life!

[getyobig02]

This is my aunt, and I love this song! Sing Aunt Mooie (aka. Gloria Hargrove/Hardiman)

[edejan]

Thanks for putting this up! I used to go listen to Professor's Blues Review with Gloria Hardiman (and later Karen Carroll) every weekend for years in Chicago. That was one rockin' live band. This song sound good here but when they played it live, they blew the roof off! Gloria's voice was so powerful and clear. Professor played a mean keyboard and had so much charisma.  Kudos to Gloria and the late, great Professor Eddie Lusk!

[edejan]

Thanks so much for posting this! I hope it can stay up! I used to listen to Professor's Blues Review with Gloria Hardiman every weekend in Chicago for years and this song is great but it blew the roof off live. That was a great live group and kudos to Gloria and the late Professor!!!

[kcharles7351]

Everytime I hear this song, it makes me thing of my Dad. He loved this song. He and my Mom would listen to it on the way to NC.

[jepdrumma]

@kcharles7351 my parents did the exact same thing going to NC!

[Dablkwid0w2008]

@kcharles7351

did you get anymore brothers and sisters after that LOL

[LUVJONZ99]

A DJ in Baltimore,MD used to play this song regularly.

[iam01]

Yes, I use to hear it all the time when I lived in Bmore. I think on Morgan State Univ radio.

[prqtd]

This is good but it pales in contrast to the version by Jimmy and Jeannie Cheatham. I wish it were on You Tube too.

Thanks for posting

[prqtd]

This is good but it pales compared to Jimmy and jeannie Cheatham's version. Wish it were on you tube. Thanks for posting it and I hope it stays. This is history baby

[Nevergoingtohappen]

For some reason, I think of the old Tally-Ho club in Columbia, SC when I hear this song.

[Buzby62]

I heard that Ron Hardy used to play this at the Music Box in Chicago because his dad used to play it to him when he was a kid.

[Geddouda]

I'm from south carolina and this is the stuff. before my time but I'm wit it. Thanks for keeping good music alive.

[osage247]

Oh how I wish my generation would have music this good!

[hickmanc69]

i used to bar back for my mother at the beach club at the ramada inn in spartanburg s.c. and theres nothing like beach people and music!!!!

[blackvelvetdiva]

I am so glad you put this song on Youtube. I used to sing this song with my band a while ago. I had the karaoke version, but someone stole it. Thanks for keeping the music going.

[OldMojoDT]

I used to play a little honkytonk in Texas. A Jackson made sure that this was the first song the DJ played at the end of our last set. Great windin' down jam.

Thanks, Tom. Still a great tune!

[MRBEACH50]
