FIRST TIME HEARING Canned Heat - Let's Work Together REACTION

Hey, Amber's line "Make someone smile" is a lyric in this song." make someone happy, make someone smile, let's all work together and make that world worth while"

[@ZOSO900]

I was waiting for them to get to this song for exactly that reason. And as fate would have it, they paused right over that line and didn't hear it.

[@robdee9341]

When I try to make someone smile they look at me as if I'm some kind of wierdo😅 I'm not by the way..

Absolutely!

[@billpeters9999]

Bob the Bear had such a great cool voice

[@kevinsacks3185]

Written by Wilbert Harrison, an R&B artist from the 50's and 60's. The original version of the song was called "Let's Stick Together". Bryan Ferry covered it in the 70's.

[@UKcanuck55]

Fun fact. Wilbert Harrison is the first act I saw live. He opened a Creedence Clearwater Revival show. Booker T & the MGs followed Wilbert.

[@kevinsacks3185]

Bob Hite on vocals this time and Alan Wilson killing it on slide guitar. Larry Taylor playing bass and showing us why he was one of the absolute best. Fito De La Parra being the journeyman drummer that he is...and one of the last surviving members of the band, along with Harvey Mandell. Incredible talent in this band!

Good info.

[@dagmar.6954]

Have always loved this group. Canned Heat is a great blues & rock band that was formed in 1965. Their two biggest hits were "On The Road Again" in 1967 & "Going Up The Country" in 1968. Also love their song from 1970 "Let's Work Together".

Their amazing extended workout of 'Boogie Chillun No. 2', with John Lee Hooker, is on KZbin.

[@rrailguitar2211]

With this, you've covered Canned Heat's hit singles. Unlike "On The Road Again" and "Going Up The Country" the lead vocalist is Bob (the Bear) Hite, a man of ample girth who would stalk the stage like Howlin' Wolf. Hite and Al (Blind Owl) Wilson had legendarily large record collections of blues and rhythm and blues records. To me the quintessential Canned Heat cut is "Fried Hockey Boogie" with all the members taking a turn in the spotlight.

[@johnsilva9139]

I can remember when Canned Heat made an appearance on the old TV show Playboy After Dark. Hugh Hefner heard that Bob Hite liked to collect old 78rpm records and asked him how many he had and he said 15,000.

[@GratefulZen]

I agree if you’re into Canned Heat you need to serve up some “Fried Hockey Boogie.”

[@Camp11dorn]

That’s what it was Earlier Biker Music ! Can heat was my kind of music and I didn’t even know it because I was so young but old enough to love the party to it. I think I was something around 17 years old something like that , that’s good you like that music I really like your program keep it up. You guys are doing a wonderful job !

Great message in the lyrics. Music like this is part of how this old rural Southern Boy escaped growing up to be a bigot. "Every boy, girl, woman and a man.."

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Lots of people react to the British band 10 years after live at Woodstock I'm going home, and then maybe one of their huge hits in the early seventies, I'd love to change the world. But they were just so incredible. They have so much good stuff. For example, off of that same A Space in Time album that I'd love to change the world is from, check out once there was a time. It's fantastic storytelling and it leads off side B of the album. But basically everything on that album is incredible.

[@proudliberal605]

Amber hit the nail on the head. Blues and rock go together. It's no coincidence that most of the great rock bands were heavily influenced by the early Blues artists.

Jay/Amber, For Female Friday: Fanny, the first female rock band to release Albums(4) on a major label, Reprise (1970-73). ex. "Place in the Country" (1971) LIVE kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5y5iqGMdqqAf7c . They were the first female rock band to tour extensively as well. Their band name is to denote the female spirit. David Bowie said ““They were one of the finest f***ing rock bands of their time…They were extraordinary: They wrote everything, they played like motherf**kers, they were just colossal and wonderful, and nobody’s ever mentioned them. They’re as important as anybody else who’s ever been, ever; it just wasn’t their time. Classic lineup June Millington-lead vocals/lead guitar; Jean Millington-lead vocals,bass; Nickey Barclay- lead vocals, keys;Alice de Buhr-drums, vocals. The one song you did by them was from their last album, which didn't include original guitarist/vocalist June Millington and and original drummer/vocals Alice de Buhr. It was not representative of their greatness.

Glad you got back to Canned Heat. Always love hearing the groove on this one. Different singer than the other three you listened to. This is Bob "The Bear" Hite. Give a listen to Amphetamine Annie, Fried Hockey Blues and Same All Over.

I don't know if you guys paid attention or not when you reacted to Forrest Gump, but this particular Canned Heat song was featured in the movie Forrest Gump at the part after Forrest runs into Lt. Dan and they spend New Years together and they are partying with those loose women at Lt. Dan's place and Forrest rejects the blonde from kissing him and getting on top of Forrest. Canned Heat Let's work together was playing in that part in the scene of the movie. Go back and watch the part I am talking about and pay close attention to the song playing.

When I was a young man I had a friend that was a DJ at a radio station. When they received the first release from Canned Heat, he played it for me and asked me if I thought the group had any potential. I told him that I liked the sound and the station should play the song. They did and the song was well received in my hometown. Apparently a lot of others had the same reaction all over the country.😊

[@old_dog9953]

Canned Heat's lead guitarist is Harvey Mandell. You got to check out his guitar stuff like Baby Batter. Great stuff from this wonderful Psychedelic Boogie Hippie era

[@ldlef]

To really hear Canned Heat get it on, check out their song FRIED HOCKEY BOOGIE. Canned Heat was started by two of the singers Bob the Bear Hite, who sings with the gravely voice and Al Wilson, the one who sings with the high voice like on GOIN' UP THE COUNTRY and ON THE ROAD AGAIN. Both these singsers were collectors of old blues music. Most of their songs are covers of very old blues songs. Check out the following two examples of the roots of Canned Heat: BULL DOZE BLUES by Henry Thomas recorded in 1928, and BOOGIE CHILLEN by John Lee Hooker in 1948.

[@nicw5574]

I love this song, I've always thought the lyrics to this song are great words to live your life by. Wishing you both well and sending peace

[@arizrich]

This would be a deep dive for you, Canned Heat was heavily influenced by the legendary bluesman, John Lee Hooker. They were able to record a double album with him called Hooker'n Heat that's just incredible. I know I've suggested the song "Boogie Chillen No.2" from that several times (ok, more than several, lol) but it is a 9:00 minute song and I know you stay away from those long songs. So from the same album try "Let's Make It", you'll love it! Peace!

[@nicoleketchum1815]

In 2007 a movie came out called Across the Universe. It was a musical with 100% Beatles songs. All the actors sing the Beatles songs. The movie starts with the doo-wop Beatles music that they started with then as it progresses it gets into the more psychedelic music. It sets place in the 60's with the start of rock, to race riots, the Vietnam war and the draft. I can't imagine you can react to a movie, but you should find it and watch it for your own pleasure.

[@barriehull7076]

Hands down my favourite song ever, since I first heard it in the 60s.

[@helindove2237]

Yes! What a great song! If you're ever going to do a cover reaction day, you can go either way. This song was originally recorded in 1962 by Wilbert Harrison and he reworked it in 1969. Roxy Music’s frontman Bryan Ferry released his version "Let's Stick Together" six years later than this Canned Heat version. For Bryan Ferry, make sure you watch the music video so you can see Jerry Hall.

[@Crapsshooter711]

Good tune to listen to you two!! I’m not much of a Canned Heat dude but since the movie, Invincible, I’m jamming to it now. And in fact, did you all see that movie and this song fit perfectly in those Philly open football tryouts!!! I really hope you all saw that classic movie!! It’s the first time I ever heard that tune but they play it on a Wichita Falls classic rock station down here and every time they do I think of that Eagles open football tryout. And I also don’t remember a thang of that open football tryout although I was raised on watching the Cowboys in those golden years of the early, mid, and late 70s with my dad.

[@AnyangU]

Love Canned Heat! This is not an original. I think it is an old standard. But, their version is fire! Love this song. You gotta see them do this live - you can find it on You Tube. You gotta see them jam to fully appreciate how impressive the performance is.

Hey guys, I seen in your past reactions how you like New Edition and New Kids on the Block. I think there's something that you should check out and react to. It's called the "Battle of Boston". It's a performance with both of those groups at the American Music Awards. Both groups were discovered by the same person but New edition was before New kids on the Block. In many people's opinion, if it wasn't for New Edition, there would have been no New Kids on the Block, Bell Biv DeVoe, Bobby Brown, Johnny Gill, Boyz II Men etc.

[@jeblmknctmabtaldlr]

Canned Heat did interpretations of older blues songs that are enjoyable to listen to, much like early Stones and bands like that. I don't think they lasted long enough to graduate to writing their own songs, but they did what they did well.

You guys might remember hearing this in the soundtrack to the movie "Invincible" with Mark Walberg.

I first heard this song when a friend who was a DJ named Rabbit at Stanford University's radio station, "the kazoo" or KZSU, played it one night in about 1974. I searches for this album for months before finding a copy in a 99 cent punch out bin. I never regretted the long search.

Hey Jay & Amber, I thought I'd suggest another song by a band I believe you've reacted to once before. So, I thought I'd suggest another one of their songs, if interested. "Counting Crowes - Big Yellow Taxi ft. Vanessa Carlton (Official Video)" (by the channel: Counting Crowes) --This song was originally written and recorded by Joni Mitchell and released in 1970 from her album "Ladies of The Canyon" But Counting Crowes rendition did very well on the charts. It was featured on their fourth studio album called "Hard Candy." It's great seeing you two bring on such wonderful singers from bands and groups I grew up listening too. You two rock

Yes! The Beat Club performances are the best. The studio recordings were toned down by the label. I will add Last Night I Had A Dream and Hey Bulldog to the list.
