Jerry Long - Birmingham Jail

[@yvonne5478]

Watching Stir Crazy tonight. ❤ 80’s Rule ✌🏼

[@MichaelWill6138]

I love this. It’s the simplicity for me. Just let a natural voice go and let it ring. No need for the elaborate stuff that happens in our modern world.

[@matthewmeyer3387]

I find this a beautiful rendition. Simple, pure and elegant.

[@ncstonecrew]

Watching Grossberger sing this on “StirCrazy” brought me here. Great song Jerry!✌️

[@kirbyjohnson5487]

Such a simple song but so beautiful!

[@MustangMike012]

My grandfather use to sing this song when it was nap time. This song reminds me of being safe and loved.

[@leemyers8292]

I remember being about ....7 or 8 watching stir crazy with my mum and dad (not really paying attention as I was constructing a fishing rod out of k’nex to attach ham to and torment the cat with... and don’t moan at me she was horrible and needed taking down a peg) as soon as grossburger started singing I stopped and listened ........ beautiful, I don’t know the fella singing this version but it’s OUTSTANDING absolutely beautiful 👌🏻

[@jerrylong8177]

Thank s so much

[@kornblumenblau69]

Piękny utwór. Tą melodię pamiętałem od 1980 roku, od obejrzenia filmu "Czyste szaleństwo". Fajnie, że po 44 latach ją odnalazłem.

[@ps1834]

Brilliant

[@riccardoscavo8485]

Although I love Solomon Burke's version it always reminds me of the haunting sound, in Stir Crazy. Thanks for recreating it in full

[@220274mark]

This was on the film stir crazy. Great song.

[@jerrylong8177]

What a classic of a film !! Good one Jerry. Sounds good.

"Down in the valley the valley so low Hang your head over, hear the wind blow Hear the wind blow love, hear the wind blow Hang your head over, hear the wind blow Roses love sunshine, violets love dew Angels in heaven, know i love you If you don't love me, love whom you please Put your arms round me, give my heart ease Give my heart ease love, give my heart ease Put your arms round me, give my heart ease Write me a letter, send it by mail Send it in care of, the Birmingham Jail Birmingham Jail love, Birmingham Jail Send it in care of, the Birmingham Jail"

Beautiful voice. 💜

I don't where or when I first heard any version of this song but I must have been very young. Ever since though sometimes this song just flies through my mind and drives me nuts until I rush to listen to it. Lol😂

[@jasonlocke4878]

had this on playlist for some time .. Jerry well done ..beautiful

[@nicholasconnolly2227]

Took me about ten year to find it. Copy or stir crazy original, absolutely brilliant.

[@davidfarmer2193]

This song makes me cry because it was sad when Erland Van Lidth who was in "Stir Crazy" sung this song passed away when he was 34 in 1987.

[@MENFUSSMIKE]

It was actually Dorian Holley who sang it. Erlind is clearly lip synching in the film

[@davidfarmer2193]

@@MENFUSSMIKE That's ok, I think I saw that, I wasn't born around then, I was born 12 years after that film was made.

[@svea7697]

Used to sing this to my children as a good knight lullaby. Worked every time. Beautiful. 🇸🇪🇸🇪

[@paulcolbourne9112]

Awesome version. Thought it was the original or at least comparable. I always thought the scene in the movie was hilarious because this great voice obviously wouldn't be coming out of that big guy. When I was a kid and saw this on t.v my brother and I found it hysterical. A badly dubbed sweet voice coming out of this behemoth. Much to surprise it actually was him singing. Quite incredible. I noticed your version is actually a half step higher than in the movie too. Nice job. It sounds like an Irish lament.
