ROCKABILLY BOOGIE - ROBERT GORDON

ROCKABILLY 80'S

[@brunoknight5936]

Bought this lp record years ago for a buck. Best investment ever. Anytime its played it will get everyone on the dance floor.

[@cerberus6654]

In Montréal back in the late 70's and early 80's Rockabilly was big. Robert Gordon was my ideal and not least because I looked a lot like him. I used to go hunting through church rummage sales and old dying shops along rue Notre-Dame for 50's clothing then come Saturday we would all go out to the rockabilly clubs. We looked so chic. The girls with their huge skirts and beehives, the boys in slim tight silk suits and those horrible pointed shoes (we all bandaged our baby toes first) and then jive and twirl all night long.

[@thomastarwater2989]

Robert Gordon (1947-2022). He started out in punk music, but embraced the spirit of rockabilly. His record labels didn’t know what to do with him. That was their trouble. He was all about 1950s rock and roll, and that’s all there was to it. He should have been as big as Brian Setzer and the Stray Cats.

[@francescof.9290]

Bruuh, why is this guy so underrated? His music should have millions of views.

[@Flavum]

He's not underrated. He's just not widely known.

[@patricelesage6279]

[@ragnarb100]

He never received the accolades he deserved.

[@joserocking3852]

When I was 18, I saw this video and it impressed me....

[@aucksmix]

A thumbs up for Chris Spedding's guitar solos

[@marcynadler7326]

Anything better than this? Yes, seeing Robert live...go Daddy-O!

[@fernandomaron87]

Today is a sad day to all rockabilly lovers worldwide. Rest in Peace legend.

[@Deader87]

Amen!

[@t4texastomjohnnycat978]

I still have my Robert Gordon LP with this song on it.... from 1979.🎸

[@stephenmolnar3393]

Miss him already!!! Saw him twice in concert. Once in 1981 with Danny Gatton in Hamilton, Ontario and once in the 90's with Chris Spedding. Loved him from the beginning.

[@TheVatonaught]

Spedding is one of my guitar hero's.

[@wagnernobre3437]

I love much the ritm, is beautiful!!!

[@daverichards9331]

I played in a band once and opened up for Robert Gordon and the Royal Crowns. I drove altogether 5 hrs in a snowstorm, got 2 beers, 10 bucks and Chinese food with a pubic hair in it, BUT! I met a King of Rock and Blues and it was a great time.

[@TheRetltbcpd124]

Cool story.

[@chancenovak1751]

"2 beers, 10 bucks and Chinese food with a pubic hair in it"..standard pay for punk rockers of the era

[@boblelder1278]

I smoked a doob with Robert behind the "el macombo" in Toronto on my 21th bday !! I guess I'm an old fucker LOLOL

[@chancenovak1751]

THIS is the way Rockabilly should be played!!

[@GrtSatan]

Did you find the pube in the fortune cookie?

[@Themanwhocameback2]

God bless him, he could sing!

[@lucasolari3756]

I would have liked so much a brother like Robert Gordon... 😢

[@eynd569]

This is from 79, remember well when I bought this album, great :-)

[@robertvonfindevogel6985]

Robert and the Best Guitarplayer Chris Spedding! Das waren geile Zeiten die early 80 in Hamburg, i hear this good Music and i drive a Pontiac Chieftain bj.1953 in Mint Green.

[@makelajunen2848]

His Music lives still🕺. All respect🙏

[@koreanstallion]

Oh no! R.I.P. Mr. Gordon!

[@EmpressOfWyoming58]

After It's Only Make Believe by Conway Tritty, this the best rockabilly song ever. Love it. How can you listen without it making you smile.

[@rubenperezdiaz-s8d]

Gordon. King of NeoRockabilly 👍👍

[@davidstobie2751]

I love the guy. Cheers all/ Happy New Year

[@kk6909]

[@marcocasas6148]

Robert r.i.p .... life is the enemy and the last song is up to her !!!!!!!!!!

[@clawawhile1]

CHRIS SPEDDING, What a pairing, monsters of our sound.

[@faustocoppi1347]

R.I.P. Robert Gordon.

[@markko17]

[@rockpeke1]

R. I. P. Robert

[@SuperCrackerjacks]

Yeah. I´ve seen him many times with Gordon, you can always trust on Spedding. His a nice combination between taste and weirdness. Love him.

[@josephlemko3027]

Gordon & Spedding are a tough act to follow. Great music

[@corovideo]

Pones este tema al taco y se muere el CoronaVirus! Desinfecta!

[@paulettenicely]

Rock a billyboogy is so great

[@MelloGee33]

Robert had a good career and was modestly successful, but I still don't know how he never got as big as the Stray Cats did during the late-70's/early-80's rockabilly re-surgence era.

[@fernandomaron87]

Better marketing

[@apataye]

I know NEXT to NOTHING about this Genre, but, ¿could it be due to the CATS being a BAND, and GORDON a SOLO singer? I mean, I have the feeling that, at the time, a FULL BAND was seen by youngsters (conscious, or unconsciously) as the "MODERN" format, whereas the SOLO singer figure might have been perceived as PASSÉ. If that was the case (and it´s only a guess), The STRAY CATS would have appealed to, both, 50s revivalists & mainstream audiences; whereas GORDON would have been seen as "TOO 50s" by the general public.

[@coolcatwill5327]

cool cat will.robertgordon rockabilly boogie makes me come alive specially on the guitar solo ican play this over and over woohoooo rockabilly rules.

[@drstevie]

Brilliant !!!

[@TheVatonaught]

I found Robert Gordon in the sale bin back in the 1970's for 79 cents...I'd never heard him before...still listening... I was just out of the Army getting back into the civilian version of make-believe life.

[@greta3315]

Thank you for your service👏🏻🤩

[@TheVatonaught]

@@greta3315 thanks

[@sierrariley7010]

My dad made me my first CDs when I was two- a Robert Gordon, a U2, and a Psychedelic Furs. Robert will always be the coolest!

[@silverfret]

the best version vocally as far as i,m concerned. fantastic.

[@hillarykildepstein3196]

I saw him with the Gatton Brothers - it was unbelievable.

[@DimitrisTsamourtzis]

R.I.P Robert Gordon....keep on rockin

He brought energy and charisma which more popular Stray Cats lacked

Great Song. His albums are the last vinyl albums I ever bought.

[@michaelortker7607]

Ruhe in Frieden Robert Gordon

[@1NeoCat96]

RG, Rest in Peace!!

[@jarisundström]

Still hitting and hard!

[@DreadPiratePapa]

He did the soundtrack and acted in Willem Defoe's first movie the Loveless. Great movie, great soundtrack free right now on Prime.

[@gregogarcia1964]

Un gran cantante, descanse en paz.

[@RochelleMG]

I saw him tonight at BB King's in NYC-still great.

[@jayne.7752]

Robert Gordon. The man.

[@davidellis5141]

Awesome ! Chris Spedding on 🎸 !

[@DominickFontana]

Fantastic Stuff! Two points, though. I have all the original albums. First, the album and song are actually called "Rock Billy Boogie." Second, this was Gordon's first album without Link Wray. Chris Spedding is the guitar player.

[@juancarloslarranagamerlo7044]

R.I.P. Great boy.

[@LEnzo-yg3im]

Robert Gordon, quel talent !

[@hogfest5047]

FANTASTIC ROCKNROLL FROM ROBERT AND CHRIS !

[@gojump7]

Finally found this! I last heard it 40 years ago on WLIR before they changed to the new wave format. Sounds exactly as I remember it!!

[@skyviewstudio]

I remember seeing him at N.Y.C. Lone Star on 5th avenue with his sister and Susan Cohen my girlfriend at the time. In the audience Blondy, Robert Fripp from King Crimson. All these people were there for him. The year well late 70s. I think.

[@maggiethecat1538]

Go cat go! 😻 Billy Idol does a great cover of this..

[@61mab]

Being 70 (ha trying to find my age on this) sounds like what I grew up; with with none of the fake genre add on stuff. I accept what he puts down... And damn that lead sounds good!

[@javierorosmartin98]

Descanse en paz 🪦🎼🎵🎶🎶✝️

[@foldsofblubber]

Is that Chris Spedding on lead? This is a nice rollicking version, right up there with Johnny.

[@lightcycle100]

My Big Love!

[@P.J.Molina]

Great 👌

[@V719117]

Fantastic Rockabilly singer from the Sixties.

[@barrygnyc]

Robert Gordon recorded this in 1982.

[@aucksmix]

Great leads and fills by Chris Spedding

[@mariovercillo1319]

I'm not a musician, so forgive my ignorance for using the wrong terminology but Spedding is the the lead, but what makes this song great is the background guitar, rythem guitar, whatever you call it, playing that great "up and down" sound throughout the song, and as you say thats the sound all rockabilly bands copy today, but in the video Spedding is not playing that guitar up and down sound, so on the actual recording is Spedding be playing that as well, is that the "fills" as you put it?

[@omarrodriguez-qj6py]

Oh no !!thats LInk Wray on lead.

[@03Bikkel]

@@omarrodriguez-qj6py Nope, Chris Spedding

[@billplate3125]

I had no idea he passed away Seen him at Lee's in Minneapolis late 90;s

[@petemccarry2326]

If Robert had let Danny Gatton off the leash, they would have both been huge stars. A high tide lifts all boats. The Humbler is recommended listening.

[@buddynatty969]

Classy music
