We often talk about our favourite newest music releases, but what about the oldest?
Today's #TuneTuesday is #MyGoldenOldie
What's the oldest song you know and like? 🎶 asked Kit-T

A while ago I learned that the 'Black Betty' song was not composed by #RamJam (which I genuinely thought he actually created), but comes from #Leadbelly ! 🤯
The same songwriter who came up with the 'My Girl, Where Did You Sleep Last Night' song. Utterly blew my mind. What else is out there? 😅

🇺🇸 Ram Jam "Black Betty" – 1977

A hard-hitting rock anthem built on driving riffs and relentless rhythm delivering raw energy that turned this single into an enduring classic...

Fortnight Friday Music has settled on the theme "Jam".

Another band that I thought would appear earlier in the listings …

Quite different from the earlier 1939 "Black Betty" by Leadbelly.

Mentally, I woke up singing Ram Jam's version of Black Betty. https://song.link/us/i/216088341

...But...but why?

Ram Jam's Black Betty seems to be blowing up on TikTok among Gen Z types. The first time I heard it was in the late 1970s. I was in a chalet après-ski. While that might sound "bourgie", I grew up in Quebec and like everyone just skied in winter. There was a slope for every wallet. The one we went to regularly had a cheap ass pommel lift and was one slope that was pretty much a straight on suicide run into the aforementioned chalet. They trusted people to remember to stop before slamming into the cinder block walls painted wood brown. Anyway, I'm in the chalet and this one guy -- young, Fracophone AF, and probably spoke Joual -- dumps about $10 in quarters into the juke box and just plays Black Betty on a continuous loop. Good times. I will always associate that song with 25 cent steamés and weak hot chocolate.

And, man, the lead singer looks like every C64 BBS sysop I ever knew in the 1980s.
