"See See Rider", also known as "C.C. Rider" or "See See Rider Blues" or "Easy Rider" is a popular American 12-bar blues song. It was first recorded, and copyrighted, by Gertrude "Ma" Rainey in 1924, and since then has been recorded by many other artists.

The song uses mostly traditional blues lyrics to tell the story of an unfaithful lover, commonly called easy riders: "See See rider, see what you have done", making a play on the word see and the sound of easy.

The song is likely to be traditional in origin. Ma Rainey's version became popular during 1925, as "See See Rider Blues." Copyrighted by her, it became one of the most famous of all blues songs, with well over 100 versions. It was recorded by Big Bill Broonzy, Mississippi John Hurt, Lead Belly, Lightnin' Hopkins, Peggy Lee, and many others.

In 1943, a version by Wee Bea Booze became a #1 hit on the Billboard "Harlem Hit Parade", precursor of the rhythm and blues chart. Some blues critics consider this to be the definitive version of the song[1].

A doo-wop version was recorded by Sonny Til and The Orioles in 1952. Later rocked-up hit versions were recorded by Chuck Willis (as "C.C. Rider", also a #1 R&B hit as well as a #12 pop hit, in 1957) and LaVern Baker (#9 R&B and #34 pop hit in 1963). Willis' version gave birth to the dance craze "The Stroll".

Other popular performances were recorded by Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels (as part of a medley entitled "Jenny Take a Ride!", #10 US pop hit in 1965) and The Animals (#10 US pop hit in 1966).

The Animals' version also reached #1 on the Canadian RPM chart, and #8 in Australia. It was the last single before the group disbanded in September 1966. Lead singer Eric Burdon still performs it on his shows today.

Other renditions came from Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, the Everly Brothers, Charlie Rich, Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead, and many more. In later years, Presley regularly opened his performances with the song,[2] such as was captured on his 1970 On Stage album. Similarly, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band long had "C.C. Rider" as part of their "Detroit Medley" encore romp, which achieved significant visibility on the 1980 No Nukes live album. "C.C. Rider" has also been done by the bluegrass group Old Crow Medicine Show.

hej ik heb de website van deze groep bekeken en die is inderdaad niet echt up to date, enig idee waar ik meer informatie omtrend optredens kan vinden??

[ABrandsma]

Het beste is om kontakt op te nemen met de huidige orkestleider.Zijn naam is Hans Kanij.

Ik heb eventueel wel zijn telefoonnummer, maar die plaats ik niet bij deze video.

Als je die wilt hebben, neem dan even prive contact met me op.

Met vriendelijke groeten,

Bert Brandsma

Finally I´ve found the band from Holland with almost the same name as our band...

Wonderful music, Bert!

Greetings from Germany!

Holger, New Orleans Syncopators!

Hello Holger,

This band has a lot of history. I remember as a kid in the 1970´s they had a regular weekly radio show. It was a pleasure to play in that band for a while in the 1990´s. I did 2 tours to Finland with them.

They still exist but are not so active on the internet.

Thanks for watching,

BB
