Actually, Samantha wasn't a "former" Vernons Girl at the time she did this - she was a full-fledged member and wasn't even credited under her name for this performance. The Girls also backed Long John on a great version of Got My Mojo Working and also backed PJ Proby on this show. I hope someone releases the original studio recordings that were made for this TV show as these were great performances but the picture/sound quality hasn't aged well on the video.
Long John Baldry was a strong influence to Elton John from which Elton took his name. Great blues man. Baldry is also the "someone" in "Someone Saved my Life Tonight" by Elton John.
Thanks for sharing this clip! Excellent! If the clip would be longer, you can see the Beatles in the stands clapping to the music.

And Long John ended up in Canada like Rompin' Ronnie Hawkins (from Arkansas) whose version of 40 Days has to be one of the best...
