Delbert McClinton - Going Back To Louisiana

My boy, Delbert singing Going Back To Louisiana. This video is dedicated to all the Louisiana folks who have been affected by the devastation of hurricane Gustav.

[@raymccranie7872]

I for one, Love Louisiana and I thank Delbert for putting this Kool Song out there. There's no one better than Del.

Delbert stayed with us one day and one night in New Orleans at our apartment on Saint Charles Street many years ago. He slept on the couch, got up the next morning, had breakfast with us, read the newspaper, and took off. He told us he was a song writer, but at that time he was still unknown. We didn't even ask to hear any of his songs. Next thing we knew he was famous. I really like the way this video is put together. Excelent job Carol, you too Delbert. Yours truly, Ray Hensley

Delbert, thanks for tearing it up for us at BB King's Friday nite. Tight and terrific band, and the man still can emote and belt out good old rhythm & blues with the best of them or better yet, take it down to a soulful ballad that even Sam Cooke would commend. One of the all timers who should be seen whenever he's booked anywhere nearby.

[@lillucy120]

Lord, gotta get those old line dance sheets. Love, Love, Love, Love this song. I use to listen to Delbert all the time. Life went on and Delbert got pushed to the back of the closet. Don't have to dig him out as long as I have KZbin. Thank God for modern tech.

Delbert McClinton....Goin Back to Louisiana.....makes you wanna hit the road and go to Louisiana....wheather you know anybody there or not.....Greatest R & B singer ever...he's got it, whatever it is.

[@marys8399]

Oh so true!

[@KludgeMaker]

There's always some kind of twist to a Delbert song. Chords, rhythm, ..... IT.

[@hoz49]

Delbert is a Master Songsmith and a fantastic performer. The epitome of a smoky bar entertainer. Catch him live if you can, buy his CD if you can't.

[@carann5]

Thank you so much! Poor people from New Orleans. My heart goes out to them once again.

[@carann5]

Hi Ray! It's so good to hear from someone who had a connection with Delbert. I don't know when that was when he spent time with you but I know he's been around for a while. Too bad I was not familiar with his music back then. Just discovered his music about 4 years ago and have loved him ever since. I was able to see him perform in Maryland in 2006 and looking forward to seeing him again. He's great! Thanks for your kind words!

[@sixtiesmusiconly]

Been a fan of his since the70's. (my name doesn't really mean sixties only, it just means I hate today's music.) Anyway got to go back stage and meet him in Tunica, MS a few years ago. Great guy and easy to talk to. I had a CD in my hand and without even asking him he grabbed it and autographed it.

[@bawanderr]

Delbert used to play in one of the two 3.2% beer bars in my hometown of Ruston. Always a great time for such a small setting! And I don't have to go back, I'm still here, just in Baton Rouge, now. Really nice clip, carann5!

[@carann5]

Yes, he does deliver! Gotta love that Delbert! I saw him once in concert and hope to see him again sometime. Please check out two of my other "Delbert" videos and thanks so much for your comment!

[@cayogator]

Delbert played harmonica on "Hey Baby" with Bruce Chanel ! been fan since '75 !

[@marcisaac2558]

cool thx

[@margaretroddey9171]

Saw him last OCT in SC fell hard for his voice

[@carann5]

Yes, Delbert will be 72 this year but is still going strong with his concerts and cruise. I got to see him once and hope I do again. Thanks for commenting!

[@stephencochran6563]

GOING TO SEE DELBERT TOMMORROW, IN CONCERT, CAN'T WAIT, AROUND MyY 10th CONCERT...... EVERYONE BETTER THAN THE LAST

[@jamesbates7457]

Ya all who are missing Delbert ..... I feel for you.

[@RetroJenny]

Great song.

[@carann5]

@wdchefdave Thanks for your comment, Dave! I didn't even know of Delbert back in the 80's. I don't know why because he's been around for a while and I love his music. I guess he never really got the recognition he deserves. You are so lucky to have had contact with him. I wonder if his son is still in the music business. Does your brother still talk to him?

[@Aileachain]

Delbert getting it done right; but then, he always does.

[@rennyshelton]

Great posting ...love this song!!!

[@suzannecoker5556]

I excised to this every morning when I first moved to Fort Walton Beach...

[@carann5]

Thank you so much Gazza!

[@carann5]

@BLUEIYEDSOUL I've heard about his cruises and would love to go but wouldn't know who I could go with since I lost my husband 3 years ago and no one in my family appreciates Del's music like I do. Also, I could not possibly plan on anything in 2012 since I don't plan for anything more than a month or two in advance. But thanks so much for posting this info for those who may want to go. I'll just look for him to appear in concert somewhere near me.

[@normanpetherbridge8867]

Great artist luv his music ! Hope to cover a couple of his numbers wnith my band ' The Lackies ' Liverpool ! ! Keep on Rockin ...

[@lillucy120]

Great video. Thank you.

[@lilbuda1990]

[@Keoniwa929]

First time hearing this song, but I Like it. Are all those celebreties somehow connected to that area? I gave it 5 *****

[@carann5]

Thank you, Ethan!

[@turbotat5274]

[@mmj75]

great great!!!!

[@carann5]

@sixtiesmusiconly Sorry it took me so long to respond to your comment but thanks! You are so lucky to have had the chance to meet and talk to him. I would love a chance like that but wouldn't know what to say to him. I would be in such awe and would probably say something like, "I just love your music," which he has probably heard a million times. LOL! Thanks again for your comment!

[@texascarl]

Aw-right!

[@ghostofgrover]

This horn section is very tight. Most excellent. Who were they?

[@divad111352]

The Muscle Shoals Horns.

[@marcisaac2558]

[@Novemblr14]

Nov 12 in Annapolis @ Ramshead

[@carann5]

Yes, they're all from Louisiana plus a lot more than I could fit in the video. But Delbert's not. He's a Texas boy. Thanks, John!

[@billyc768]

But they're not all from Louisiana.

[@marthayaw2447]

Be Safe

[@BLUEIYEDSOUL]

@undrurspl If u want 2 go on the cruise u need 2 bookmark the cruise web page & watch daily 2 c when tickests 4 the 2012 cruise. They usually start selling them when they dock. seriously check it daily from now until tickets go on sale 4 2012. I may be wrong but the 2011 cruise has been sold out since 2/2010. They give the people on the cruise a chance to buy tickets for the next years cruise before the dock. Unless they get a bigger ship or some 1 dies getting tickets is about like bristol.

[@billyc768]

MLK Jr. is from Georgia and Delta Burke is from Florida. Britney Spears was born in Mississippi, and also went to school there. But I guess Louisiana can claim her since she lived there, literally within walking distance of the MS border.

[@AmeisterAmerica]

WHO DAT!!!

[@Loriesusan]

Hey! You need to add Drew Brees and the Saints! LOL

[@tommymann69]

put some jimmy hall on it. then you will have a,great song.

[@nikkiaiello3446]

[@512kkg]

[@larrymccarthy8215]

Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo from the movie You Can Count on Me (2000).

[@marthayaw2447]

Zeta going possibly back to La

[@carann5]

@maxxxx1972 I can't tell you that. It's a secret.

[@raymccranie7872]

Becky Lynch is NOT The Man! Delbert McClinton IS!!!!😮😅😊😂

[@tunefultonyjohnson4100]

Like the way he sings it as 'Looziana', and not [as written] LOUISIANA..... Must be a Texan type of pronunciation??

[@angelaphipps6520]

Sorry not as good As the original 😞

[@maxxxx1972]

@carann5 oh my God!!

[@maxxxx1972]
