I guess Graham won in the end and Ginger was wrong...he isn't a fat guy. ❤🎉😂

Richard Manuel 😮

I saw an interview where Charlie Watts said the GBO was The Band in London in the mid sixties.

This is one of my favourite drumming tracks ever. Ginger may have been a nutter but what a drummer

Not only Jack Bruce but Ginger Baker on the skins .

I don't want it I don't need it I don't give it I don't get it WHO CARES!?!?

Buen tema un grupazoo

Gonks go Beat, a film that introduced some and re-established others. My song still appears on screen from time to time.

The story of "Bacon Fat" seems to be true but not complete in "Testimony", Robbie Robertson's detailed autobiography. "Bacon Fat" was proposed by Garth Hudson to Duff Roman for recording by Levon and The Hawks on Roman records, Toronto, Canada, (1963 or 6?). Robertson rightly, IMHO, credits Garth and himself as having written "Bacon Fat". There is another, "Bacon Fat" written in 1956 by Andre Williams, who recorded it as a talking Blues for Fortune Records. It became a top-ten hit at that time. Now it's likely Williams' "Bacon Fat" may have been the inspiration for Garth Hudson and Robbie Robertson, who were students of the electric Blues, Jump Blues, and early Rock played along the Chitlin' Circuit. But comparing the two "Bacon Fat" tunes, it's clear: 1. by the different lyrics; 2. by the Hawks' organ & guitar versus Williams' sax instrumentation; 3. and by the beat; that Williams' "Bacon Fat" and the Hudson-Robertson "Bacon Fat" are different compositions related mainly, perhaps only, by sharing the same title. -Doug Pratt, Atlanta, Georgia, USA.

That’s flamming!

Another one of my favorite grand funk songs mark farner shines brightly on this song🤥

Interesting 7" moody psych on this killer label

I left my wallet 😊

Jack Looks like a teenager here 😂

wow

Wade in the water, Graham Bond Organisation - amazing! The devil's music - check it out!!!

Great sound of the Hamon organ and harmonic

😅❤

The drummer on the left with the shorter hair and red shirt playing the purple drums is great. His technique is perfect. Andy White?

Good meeting of players.

I honestly do not remember this recording. I was and still am a huge Rascals fan. How did I miss this one?

Is this song a remake of Andre Williams 'Bacon Fat - 1956"? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWHOo2N_e9iAbKcsi=gJAQn0j4wuAYSB8u

Why don't they do that anymore!!!.............

eeerrr, very nice

Whatever money they might've made from this went straight up their arms!

The correct title of this clip is : "Gonks Go Beat" UK film from 1964.

Bobby Graham next to Ronnie Verrell!

One of my most favourite songs from childhood. Thank you for sharing and R.I.P., Jerry. 🎶

Took me a minute. Started watching the video without seeing the credits and then there he was. A very young Ginger Baker on drums. Love the jam and the over emphasized rocking moves, being made by everyone in the band and the dancers. A wicked 60's video. So cool!

Dang - how many years did I think that this was a Taj Mahal song. I never knew it was a cover.

This is great. Very blues based. But Taj Mahal and Jesse Ed Davis covered a song called Bacon Fat that is completely different. Different verse. Everything. I was expecting that one. How many Bacon Fats are there?

One of the best things I've ever seen!

What is the name on the other side of this record???

For those keen on Jack and Ginger, you can now get Eric Clapton and the Powerhouse doing Crossroads, with Steve Winwood singing, early 66, before Cream and almost Blind Faiith.

It was cool seeing Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker in it.

Aside from the Carnaby St.,/Fab Four scene taking most of the oxygen ,there existed a pulsing London netherworld of R&B , 'Northern Soul, and Delta Blues.Graham's band was the critic's, and fan fave.

Thank you God, I mean Beware of Mr. Baker that lead me to this hit!

Where can I find this track / cd ???

Rip Robbie

MegaLumpygravy: thanks for posting. Sounds awesome. Cheers!🥨

Somebody needs to put together an early album of all this music these musicians did. Amazing stuff 65

Ginger baker on drums just spotted

A scene from Gonks Go Beat.

Some long hair for late 64.

I didn’t know graham bond was on gilligans island?!

Cool song… Never heard it before. I had seen a brief clip of the video, it’s pretty hilarious - everybody’s spazzing out - no doubt that the director’s behest. RIP, all you legends

ALSO DICK HECKSTALL SMITH, JOHN MC LAUGHLIN AND OTHERS....... THANK YOU ENGLAND!!!

Musically it sounds very advanced for 1965.

There's always time for -light cones- love
