Elton and Baldry were great friends. As the story goes Elton was going to kill himself many years ago and Baldry came to his aid. "Someone saved my life tonight" was a song from Elton to Baldry. Elton also took the name "John" from Baldry. Some trivia for ya'!

Long John (God Bless His Soul) inspired and played with so many greats......just listen to the guitar part....doesn't it remind you of something from CREAM!

?. why did it take many [me] of 50 years to here this great band and singers . my older uncle and brother got me listening to good r+b music in 1957, but untill my son found this great music , it was locked out mostly in the good old USA. the BRITTS loved our [minority?] music, and celibrated something that our SORRY political state could not at that time. ROCK!.
It was 1969 and WNEW in New York played this and I was hooked.

I bought the LP- "It Ain't Easy"- when it first came out 'cos A) it was produced by his old bandmates Rod Stewart and Elton John and B) it was on sale at Alexander's department store for $2.99 (LOL), which was the going rate at that time. Those were the days. RIP, John.
