The amazing Blackberries, Venetta Fields and Clydie King, on backing vocals. The two can also be seen grooving behind Linda Ronstadt when she played "You're No Good" on the MS!

Don't know who's who, but that one girl is amazingly astonishing. The one on the right in the footage.

[@recordguy4321]

sure doesnt look like either of them

[@henryhoward8341]

I don't think that's the Blackberries. Doesn't look like them from all the photos I've seen of them with Humble Pie. More likely it's Robbie Montgomery and Jessie Smith (both former Ikettes) who did the backing vocals on Dr. John's album.

I'd love to have a dime for every joint this guy smoked. Killer song!

[@bokehintheussr5033]

I've been listening to Dr John since I was a ten year old kid in the late 90s. I have no idea or memory of how I was introduced to his music at such a young age. None of my friends or family were fans of his music, and he was no longer commercially relevant. I just somehow discovered his music and got hooked.

[@in2livinit]

Fate. I was about that age when this came out & I bought the 45 single record. Ever seen one 😆 Same deal. My parents were WWII Generation, my brother into Rick (me too) but I somehow discovered funk & Motown. Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Dr John, Marvin Gaye, Gladys night. Ohio players. On & on. It might of been Soul Train. I don't remember. But my collection later made me the DJ for our 6th grade dance. And everybody shook their kid booties, and I was instantly cool. Then I was a 7th grade middle school bottom of the ladder dork again for a year. But everybody in HS remembered & I was like a Chameleon 😆 Keep sharing this music with every young person you can. The Soul will do the rest. ✌️🎶🔥

[@greatgooglymoogly]

Always loved this song. Healthy slice of New Orleans funk. Saw him live a few years ago ,still sounded great.Gone but not forgotten.Another MS classic.

[@ardiris2715]

I rewired my digital alarm clock (with the little flaps for each minute) to start my cassette player. This was the song I woke up to for years. (:

[@patrickpurdue2739]

I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. John many, many years ago when he was a long in years. With long gray hair and a white linen suit he looked and sounded awesome!

[@garystone3476]

I saw Dr. John live back in the early 70s. Maybe 1972. Strange dude, great performer.

[@janetjohnson1653]

My older brother was a lead guitarist with dr.john in the 70s

[@1blastman]

IS that him playing here? This is a 1973 recording.

[@georgegaylord]

Remember the first timeI ever hear this I was 14. Called the radio station and cause I knew the D J had him play it again. Well I’m 65 now and it’s still one of my favorite songs, Great music is timeless and lets you be young again if even only for a few minutes . The 1970’s was the best music ever , prove me wrong!

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Funky & Groovy stuff from Dr John always loved this song, the back up singers are awesome too, That guitar solo ooof . . . 😎

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

[@gogoyubari366]

A music icon he was!

[@1blastman]

When I first heard the GrisGris album in 1968, I knew I had to move to New Orleans. I got the chance in 1976 and have lived in South Louisiana ever since. When I first got the album, I had no idea what the back liner notes meant. After living in the city for a few years, it all made perfect sense. Caught him at Jazzfest every time he was there for years. One of the greats. Rock-In-Peace, Mac

[@UncleDaffy313]

I met Dr. John in about 6th grade. The lady who drove my sisters & I to school along with her kids had gone to high school with him, back when he was Mack Rebennack. He was in town for the Bacchus Extravaganza in the Superdome & she invited me to her house to meet him. That evening after snacks & pop, it was getting late. She called & found out he & friends were going out first, & knew it might be 2a.m. when they would pass by. She said she'd wake her kids up, but I needed to get home soon. Turns out he was at an apartment complex about two miles from there, so I rode my bike over & sheepishly knocked on the door & asked if Dr John was there. The lady at the door called out, "You've got a fan here," & he called out, "Well,. send him in!" He then signed an autograph, but since he's "Doctor" John, he put RX in the upper corner like a prescription & wrote something like, "To Tim, Keep rocking & rolling as need," then signed his name. In addition, he took the time to draw a piano, a guitar, & a set of drums at the bottom! Who takes that kind of time on an autograph? Dr. John, that's who! It's a very prized possession of mine.📝

[@DoctorShocktor]

Not only a funky song, but it connects Dr. John to the Alien movies! Emerson Lake and Palmer named their most famous album “Brain Salad Surgery” after a line in this song. ELP also bought some of H.R. Giger’s artwork to use as the cover art on that album. H.R. Giger went on to produce art and sculpture for the Aliens movies. Now you know… “the rest of the story”…

[@curtisphilumalee1447]

Saw that ELP tour. It was mind blowing in both a musical sense and visual experience. My youngest daughter now in her mid thirties has my tee shirt from that tour. Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. Karn Evil 9

[@ROLtheWolf]

ANd I thought you were talking about how Toccata became the theme to Creature Double Feature...so thanks for pointing out the Brain Salad Surgery line, because I was watching the girls.

[@TrilobitesRTasty]

That's great info! I always thought ELP was first with that line. Thanks!

[@KittyGrizGriz]

How Cool about ELP connection! One of my fav bands, thanks ☺️

[@VCT3333]

The artwork intimated fellatio. ELP wanted to call the Album "Whip Some Skull On Me" . The label objected as it was too obvious a double entendre. Dr. John's album had just been released and the term "Brain Salad Surgery" was Nawlins slang for the same thing. ELP ended up using this and no one was the wiser... until much later when it was too late anyway 😂
