Jaime Brockett - Legend of the USS Titanic (FULL)

[@seenonyoutube7856]

I heard this song a LONG time ago on KAAY's Beaker Street "underground" radio show broadcasted from Little Rock Arkansas. They pumped up their night time power to 50,000 watts and it came in loud and clear all over the eastern half of the country. I remember laying in bed with my radio playing all night long. Best radio station there ever was, they would play songs a lot of other stations wouldn't play.

[@markslupe7197]

That's where I heard it too, way up north in Minnesota.

[@jimcramer5125]

I live in a small Kansas town, so we would ride around in the country smoking and listening to Clyde Clifford, KAAY, Little Rock, Arkansas! "White Bird" was a mainstay for a time. I had never heard a song like that before. A ton of songs never would have heard before this program. Clyde played non-stop the entire Moody Blues "On The Threshold Of A Dream" album. What a great ride this show was. Especially in the summer when school was out. "Interstellar Overdrive" by Pink Floyd. I could not believe what I was hearing when THAT one came on. Some of the best guitar work I've ever heard!

[@crunchstick1277]

What a great show and station! No one cared it was AM because the music was so good, all that mattered was you could catch it and if you could you were in for a great time. My brother used to always keep his cassette tape recorder ready to go, just in case. If I’m not mistaken, I’m pretty sure my brother bought this vinyl and probably still has it in pristine condition. Good days!

[@garyscott1947]

I live in Southern Iowa, we could get KAAY to come in late at night. I’d listen to Beaker Street every Friday night. Listened to this song close the show every week.

[@rollingrock1736]

The mighty 1090 am, KAAY!!, stayed up late a lot of nights listening as a kid!! First time I ever heard Van Halen, was on Beaker street!!

[@dryfoo]

Thanks for this! I saw what might have been Brockett's last public performance of this. He came to perform at Union College in 1972. It was a small coffeehouse venue where the audience was requesting Titanic. He demurred that he didn't perform it anymore. The coffeehouse manager Becky G. showed him a news clipping, that date was the 60th anniversary of the sinking. He agreed, and launched into a half-hour monster version of his Legend. 40 years later, I'll never forget it.

[@danthefan5378]

Jaime did Titanic way after '72 in Chicago @ Orphan's both times i think, late 70's/early 80's. Glad You saw that @dryfoo , Bests, dtf

[@yurolson]

Awesome man. Awesome. I got this lp. Bought it in Stratford Ct. circa 78.

[@--pbrstreetgang--]

Union College in NJ?

[@baronessasshore4722]

I went to a Jamie Brockett concert in 1969 in Boston with my girlfriend, we hung out after the concert and met him. He invited us back to a place he was staying at with friends. (better then renting a hotel room, although I imagine he slept in his van some nights on his "tours". He was the nicest guy I've ever met, we drank some tea and smoke a joint. He pulled his guitar out and played a couple of songs. Then asked me if I played. "Some", I said. And he handed me his guitar ... I played some Dylan song, best I could. He was nice and said, "keep on practicing". He was so cool

[@ericpatton1349]

Aloha wonderful story! Mahalo for posting and sharing this piece of history in a bottle adrift in the sea of memories...

[@rddavies]

I had a very similar experience.

[@bryanhanley6633]

Only demos of this album were ever released. The record company he contracted with went bankrupt with the recording rights tied up in court, so it never got produced for the public. Word.

[@krunch87]

The local public radio station is playing this song right now for the 100th year anniversary of the Titanic ... what an amazingly brilliant song.

[@roadieric9472]

This is a true classic of early "stoner" culture. Thanks for posting.

"...and the Captain's out cold on the wheelhouse floor!"

[@duanea.fisher2993]

I remember listen to my transistor radio at midnight on a school night as this ballad play on KAAY Little Rock---Bleeker Street underground radio station.

[@viningdan69]

Drank a little wine in 69, went on fine into the winter of 70. Rode around with some counterculture college buddies around midnight in the hills north of NDSU-Bottineau North Dakota and listened to Bleeker Street out of Little Rock. Amazing that we could pick it up in northern North Dakota. Totally understood what really happened to the Titanic.

[@kkollwitz]

viningdan69 I don't know if it's still the case, but back in the day KAAY turned up its broadcast wattage at night. WWL in New Orleans did the same. They are clear-channel stations: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear-channel_station

[@reptilia5]

I forgot about Bleeker Street and Clyde Clifford. I used to listen to that program on Magic 105 back in the 80's as a teenager. The same station had a program called DR. Demento that played on Sunday mornings.I remember very well hearing this song twice on Sundays on both Bleeker Street and Dr. Demento.

[@duanea.fisher2993]

reptilia5 I too remember the Doctor Demento Show. Wow! Brings back a few memories.

[@stillbillful]

acutally,,,that'd be ,,,,KAAY AM-LITTLE ROCK...''BEAKER STREET'',,, an oblique reference to LSD. The program featured Acid rock and its name alluded to the fact that "Acid" ( i.e., LSD ) was created in a laboratory beaker, a simple contain (glassware) for stirring, mixing and heating liquids commonly used in many laboratories...a bit esoteric-and ahead of its time..but great rock music!

[@crandall49]

"This is the nighttime voice of Arkansas, KAAY, Little, Rock. " Heard in Joplin, MO. Then in 1974, got stationed at LRAFB and listened to Clyde Clifford and Cindy's Crying and this song many times. Thanks for the post.

[@DickEvener]

Jaime walked into a bar my band was playing and asked if he could play during our setbreak, try and follow that!

[@deewkay1]

This is great, I have loved this song since the 60's and i still have it on vinyl too. this song is so old but now i am too.

[@joepetracca5423]

First heard this over 50 years ago ehen there were counterculture radio stations. I think its a wonderfully creative take on the Titanic and I still love it in 2023

[@charleymonagan4025]

Today, the name of Jamie (Jaime) Brockett suddenly emerged after 45 years from the fog in my head. Didn't he sing a crazy song about the Titanic that amused me repeatedly so many years ago? And so he had. Thanks for making it so easy to find.

[@dakirk6091]

With my friends we spent many Saturday nights riding around our little town of 400 listening to KAAY . They played this every time it seemed . Great memories of great times

[@sportster16301]

I finally found this gem after 50 years of looking. The only thing I had remembered was about the hemp rope. Thanks EggsZachtly.

[@yuckfooh5217]

YOU'RE ALWAYS WELCOME BRO. I WAS ALSO FROM WESTBORO Ma. JAIMIE HAD A BIG INFLUENCE OF HIS GENERATION THERE.

[@billyragan7916]

A real treat. From Des Moines Iowa we also got Bleeker Street now I’m 64 and because of my pain contract I can’t smoke rope no more. But I now live in South Dakota and they just voted medical marijuana and recreational into law.

[@timothylane5654]

oh man...this is a classic. my pop used to play this all the time when i was little. i LOVED it. havent heard it in decades. i STILL remember most of the words. miss you, pop.....

OMG! Does this bring back memories! I still have this on vinyl! Thanks for posting this! I sounds better than all the snap, crackle, pops on my record.

[@michaelb.6004]

I worked in progressive rock radio in the 70’s. This song was a staple of the late-night shows, particularly when the DJ needed to use the john.

[@MikeLarson1975]

Fist heard this in the late 60's early 70's on KAAY AM 1090 Little Rock Arkansas late in the evenings all the way up in North Dakota. "Beaker Street" with Clyde Clifford hosted this underground music program that played music others did not dare too. A true classic of the times. You did a great job with pic story.

[@ronchavis]

I was 19 when I had my first "monumental" experience with a woman. It was back in '69, and she'd invited me to her dorm room, presumably to get my thoughts on this song. She also furnished a joint, the likes of which I'd yet to smoke....until a few circles around the "deck of the Titanic" with her...and with Jamie. I went on from college to work in radio, and often spun this timeless track on my Free-form Rock show at the former WYDD FM in Pittsburgh. Thanks, Jamie Brockett, for being part of my life history. First time I've told this story in all these years. And hey...wish you had a Facebook Fan Page!

[@details78]

I've loved this since I was a kid. A great photo montage to go along with the song as well. Thanks for putting this together.

[@lesbratton]

Used to listen to Clyde Clifford every night after work on KAAY Little Rock, AR. Legend of the Titanic was a favorite.

[@jameshickel4208]

This was fantastic! I haven't heard this song in decades. And great job on the video.

[@gledew]

Yeah, I remember hearing it on Beeker Street, John Diamond hosting, found it on vinyl and still have it. Great job, Thanks!!

[@bobstreater1429]

Yes Beeker Street, as a young night owl, for some reason this radio station playing this at midnight would "bounce" all the way to MN from was it Kansas? and after hearing it once I would keep trying to time this late at night to hear this again and again. I can't believe that this "bounced" back again. It just makes me smile, batten down the hatches and walk around your wheelhouse !!!!

[@lesbratton]

@@bobstreater1429 It was KAAY out of Little Rock, AR.

WXRT program director was/is a guy named Norm Winter aka Norm Winer. worked at WBCN radio in Boston for many years. Norm later went off to Chicago and took this song with him plus a lot of great other tunes we all played.

[@WildBillCox13]

I remember when this was new . . . Green Beret and Titanic were two of his best works, imo. By degrees harsh, unforgiving, and protesting, as well as also insightful, perceptive, and clear--headed, his act was a mirror reflecting a troubled moment in the American social paradigm.

[@leoretrossi6359]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet , kaay little rock way back in the day when I was young , early 70's

[@Duckatac]

@tmac396 I have a similar story. I heard this in a record store/head shop in Eugene, Oregon sometime in the early 70's. Never knew who it was and so far as I recall never heard it again, but I've remembered the "Fare thee well Titanic, fare thee well", line from the chorus all these years. For some reason tonight I searched for it on Lyrster and eventually found my way here. Great to hear this again. Lyrster has a full transcription of the lyrics.

[@brancomusic]

Wabx fm Detroit played this one time i remembered it and finally got the CD

[@billdee2201]

I saw Jamie perform this song in 1968 in a small coffee house under a church in Hyannis Ma. Good times

[@batteem]

KVRM radio in Eugene Oregon played this tune on last Saturdays weekly folk music show. I was workin' on the lawn mower and could not quit grinnin' as the song progressed. I like the weave of historical events and people with the writer/performers interpretation of such into an 'alternative ending' type fictional history. Thank you for your time and effort on this project and sharing it. People like yourself are creating a credible resource for musical history that I use daily.

[@snackcakeman]

I heard this song tonight at 6;45 PM on my favorite radio station in Atlanta, WMLB. They'll play anything. Oddly enough, the program was called anything goes. This song is fantastic.

As we partied on wheels as a youth, we had one quirky rule which related to Jaime Brockett's Titantic tune (and Canned Heat's album version of "On The Road Again"), which was that as soon as we recognized the into' we headed on the nearest route out of town, continuing on until the tune was complete. Later on, we amended the rule to consider the gas tank level!

Man, I'm 33 years old from Conway Ar. I first heard this song in the 90s on Beaker St. with Clyde Clifford while sitting in my dads shop while he was wrenching on a back halved, BBC Biscayne probably under the influence of Mexican rope lol! I had to tell you that.

Beaker Street YES! My first time to this song, Only Clyde had picked up some Airtime with Magic105FM ON Sunday night through the 80's Thanks for the memory everyone!

Brings back memories of Kansas City circa 1970. Glad to see so many others have fond memories also.

Thanks for posting this! I first heard this tune in 1972, under some clean pure windowpane. My friends, a few years older and wiser, introduced me to this album and a few other masterpieces back in the dawn of the 70s. I still quote some of the lyrics in passing brief conversations. "I just carry it..." Once in awhile I'll get a knowing nod from some formerly cool person, usually an overgrown hippie like me who still actually owns the original album. Thank you Jamie!
