Louis Jordan Salt Pork, West Virginia

[@RatPfink66]

MacNeil, don't steal my automobile! MacNeil was the judge Louis appeared before in Bluefield, W.V. in 1945, on a traffic charge. Louis made him laugh in court and offered to buy him dinner. MacNeil said no thanks and dismissed the charges...whew!

[@bluesdharma]

Thanks for the info! I'm from Welch WV, roughly 40 miles from Bluefield WV.

I love that he mentions 2 towns in the area I used to live. Richmond and Norfolk ❤

[@GreasySwayze]

I bet these fine gentleman didn't think the world today could get easy access to this recording of this amazing performance.

[@bunnygirlelise4380]

I heard this first in Fallout 76, but it has quickly become my absolute favorite song!

[@BrandonRob206]

Same!!!

[@Montagne1234]

I know its epic isn't it

[@phillabong520]

Thank you Fallout 🙏

[@JB-jw8wp]

Timeless 👌🏻

[@dgxldegamersxl6404]

Same

[@codestar7]

Mamma sang this to me when I was real little, I would laugh so hard! Love it. Mamma is long gone, but I can still listen to this song.

[@leaanncollins4350]

Sometimes KZbin is amazing. I can’t believe I hear this song in fallout 76 & can find an actual video recording of the original artist. Well done & thank you!

[@upsettersfc]

Respect Old School music

[@CPorter]

the only alternative is Death

[@danielhorton1321]

Amen

[@tigerbait134]

Nuka Cola Quantum and salisbury steak with this on in the background...delightful

[@EQOAnostalgia]

I hear ya knocking but ya can't come in... whoops, wrong badass jam.

[@Drako2088]

Dropping by from Fallout 76. So glad I found this video.

[@Nightmare-km1xy]

Interesting replacement from I wanna treat you like a brother to i dont wanna commit no murder

[@zellodine4708]

I was going to say something similar. Since this appears to have aired on television, Im sure he changed the lyrics to be more "appropriate".

[@jcruisioso5975]

The McNeil family is forbidden to mention his name . He cost the Judge the next election with this cool song. My friend is a direct descendent .

[@whitefalcon64]

You're very kind to me, man. Thanks a lot again. All the best, from Spain

[@alejandrafiabane4482]

In my opinion Fallout has one of the best soundtracks

[@CynicallyObnoxious]

As a born and breed West Virginian I have never heard of this song lol

[@davephillips6456]

The grandaddy of Rock n Roll..👍 Why is there no footage of Wynonie Harris anywhere? He was huge during late 40s early 50s..

[@Swedishmafia101MemeCorporation]

What a thumbnail

[@whitefalcon64]

One of my Louis Jordan all-time favourites. Thanks for post it. Can anybody help me with lyrics? Thanks in advance, from Spain

[@TwistedCyclonix]

Guys this song in in fallout 76.

[@ThePdog3k]

I think I like this version better, its longer!

[@dianegullett1097]

love this

[@stefmagura]

I think I can hear the influence of this song on "Night Train" by James Brown.

[@alanoneill3065]

noo...THIS is....kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZDYn6trbsqbb6s

[@fmilktoast]

[@d820m]

[@kevinsacirovic8781]

[@yellowbananago]

All fallout 76 players below the age of sentience say "tHiS iS aPpLE rAdIo"

[@zzzSpidermanzzz]

I grew up in Bluefield, and i never saw any signs that said salt pork Wva.

[@jcruisioso5975]

Lol local brothers called it that

[@whitefalcon64]

Thanks a lot !!

[@I_Stern]

Thank you Fallout. ❤

[@Themaddprof]

You may be right as Jordan was a major influence on the Godfather. This is from the 1946 film BEWARE.

Behold, fallout posts are coming!

[@ryanfromthefuture8049]

This version of the song should’ve been in fallout 76

[@BrandonRob206]

0 dislikes as it should be.

[@Montagne1234]

He sounds like me when Im sick

[@Lincgc]

Fallout 76 👍🏾

[@RichieLarpa]

I knew this BEFORE the Fallout 76 was even announced. This is what happens, when you are addicted to jazz & rock'n'roll!

[@petej7002]

Is this the clean version ?

[@BLUTOV]

MGW 12126 Louis Jordan - Somebody Up There Digs Me on Wing Records.....the version more faster and aggressive....you'll love it, I guarantee it....the arranger and conductor is Quincy Jones so you know it's the truth.

[@samuraigaming4680]

First comment: 9 years ago First comment about Fallout 76: 3 months ago At least we had 8 years before all the gamers got here

[@sealofakatosh]
