1am or so on a lovely summer weekend in the 80's, my best friend & her husband went to the local dam with hubby & I. We were all in our 20's back then. Hubby driving down the small lane beside the river, Richard in the other front seat, girls in the back heading to the dam. We had the windows rolled down & Black Betty came on the radio. We blasted that song. Richard (friends' husband) started playing spoons on his leg to this song. Later on we all danced at the dam.... but the memory has lasted all these years. Today Richard died. I had to play this in his honor. God Speed Richard.

Fell in love with this instantly. However its a tremendous shame that the mid-part guitar solo is not included in this "Official music video". One could consider that as a "robbery " of some sort. Im pretty sure that tons of people who do love this as well havent the slightest idea about the missing mid-part.

He was talking about how when he used to do stand up comedy, he'd do these impressions of the people he grew up with in a poor section of Cleveland, his neighbors, people he saw all the time and interacted with. He told stories and put on the different personalities and voices, and he wasn't making fun of anyone; indeed, he was depicting "home," people he cherished. He said sometimes blacks would come up to him and say how perfectly well he was able to capture the way things were where he was from. BUT, these days? I'm just paraphrasing here, but he said it was different, how the things he said then could now be called "racist." You simply weren't allowed to say certain things anymore. Yes, being outside in someone's yard just hanging out was recognizeable, and those clothes - love the bell bottoms and tube tops! But hearing the song now, after just listening to that comedian, what struck me was how free and spontaneous those people all appeared.

The guy clapping is actually the lead singer for the band, their most famous hit wasn't even sung by the band's lead singer this song is sung by the guitarist Bill Bartlett.

Back when I was in Elementary School so like 2012 or so, our teacher asked everyone what their favorite songs were I can’t remember what I said or anyone else but I do remember this one kid named Luke said this song. Every made fun of him or whatever but now that I’m much older, you gotta admit that the kid had good taste. It was certainly much better than whatever I was listening to back then lol
