Long John Baldry played a key role in the growth of the British rhythm & blues movement that swept the nation in the wake of jazz and blues. Having shared the stage and recording studios with some of music's biggest names (Alexis Korner, Rod Stewart, Elton John), Baldry's husky timbre retained a rare sophisticated understanding and control of his genre combined with an equally rare sense of sartorial style. Although not primarily a songwriter, interpretations rarely bore the impeccable appeal that is Baldry's signature vocal style, evoking a smoky, deep-blues voice with a genuine black resonance. Famous for his hit 'Let The Heartaches Begin,' but respected more widely for his invaluable contributions to British blues, these prized sessions highlight an enviable career in the limelight and the birth of British R&B, blues and soul.
