Thats how we rolled in the 70s, back yard BBQ Jam. Black betty is a few things here; It was an African-American RR labor chant to added rhythm to the work, as old as the 1800's... it is a reference to a civil war era gun -- a “musket” called a Black Betty ... it is said the "bam a lam" is a reference to how the musket sounds when fired. Its also a very very old reference to a bottle of whisky from the l820's (this came to this country from England possibly as far back as the 1700’s. In fact, an old term for being drunk is to have been "Kissing Black Betty" (kissing a bottle of liquor)... and of course, as you can hear in the song a beautiful black woman, the singer is smitten by her to the point where he can’t hold it in. Thanx much, Peace

Black Betty is actually a really old song ... the oldest recordings of this song go back to the 1930’s ... the song itself likely goes back into the 1800’s. There are a few versions of what “Black Betty” actually means ... it is a reference to a civil war era gun -- a “musket” called a Black Betty ... it is said the "bam a lam" is a reference to how the musket sounds when fired. “Black betty” is also a very very old reference to a bottle of whisky from the l820's (this came to this country from England possibly as far back as the 1700’s. In fact, an old term for being drunk is to have been "Kissing Black Betty" (kissing a bottle of liquor). Other references lost to the annals of time have been attributed to this song as well ... there is quite a bit in wikipedia on the song. The cadence and melody of the song may have started out in an English military march, pre-1900 ......... and of course, as you can hear in the song Black Betty is also a reference to a woman. The history of RamJam is a complicated one and the fact that they have only one big hit would seem to be because of the instability of the band, not a lack of talent. And not to muddy the water too much more, that video was of the group of guys that _became_ RamJam ... like I say; off in the weeds already. The earliest _recorded_ versions of the song appear to be from the 1920’s-1930’s. Like many roots music songs, Black Betty was also sung as an old african-american work song ... sang when working in the fields ... or when "dancing on the rails" as a "Gandy" (work straightening railroad tracks by hand). As far as those old, old versions of the song, you can still listen to some of these, and you can hear some of the lyrics from the Ram Jam version actually *in* those very old songs ... If you’d like to check them out .. Here are two recordings of the song from the 1930's, first is sung by Mose 'Clear Rock' Platt ... kzitem.info/news/bejne/o52synVnhnl0jKQ .... and the second version from 1933 is sung by James Iron Head Baker ... kzitem.info/news/bejne/xGqOrIyAjIOCgn4.

You pointed out how this song put you in the good mood, and that is the difference between the music of the 1970s and current day. Today people are so miserable (and are so afraid of dying they are too scared to live) but in the 70s we all loved life and it was filled with exuberance and cheer. Yes, cheer. We were all looking forward to going to the moon and Mars, and to all the things that the future held--especially for the people of the Western world, and then (in the 80s) women took over society, and their fear of everything was spread to their bubble-wrapped kids (something no father would have allowed in the 1970s) and with mind altering drugs that they forced on their little boys (check ADHD drugs) for doing nothing except being little boys that they could not keep up with after working all day--something women did not HAVE to do in the 1970s so they had time and energy to enjoy their kids and for their kids to enjoy life--all they wanted was what fathers had had in the 70s, a little time to unwind and relax after a day's work. I feel sorry for all of the kids your age, because mine is the last generation (for I don't know how long) that will experience the wonder of falling in love and lying back on a blanket of grass looking up at the starry night sky with the one we had fallen in love with as a romantic song (Moonlight Feels Right--Starbuck, for example) knowing that as we grew older we would marry and have kids and perhaps those kids would be born on Mars or some other cosmic body. When women took over society they grounded space travel to not only Mars but even to the moon, and a colony was suddenly out of the future. Misery set in, and the joy of love, romance, even life was drained from Western Society. Around the world the guiding light that had radiated outward around the world was extinguished, and with it HOPE for a better tomorrow.

Brilliant driving song. Everyone belts out the lyrics to this when it comes on the radio.

I loved your reaction. At 85 yearsof age, I grew up with ALL of this music - I love it - and I still love it! Yes, how cool is Ram Jam and their Black Betty. By now you must know by noiw that Black Betty is in reference to an "Old time" Rifle. I think this song goes WAY back to the 20's and 30's - even older than I, and I'm God Damned ancient. :-) I just subscribed to your channel - I love the way you roll. Peace Bro.

I have heard this song one million times lol. I usually skip the reactions. However an average person needs to hear this atleast 100 times and I wanted to be here for your 1st time. So excited for you to do this type of classic rock! You are correct about it being a crying shame that music isn’t like that anymore. Great reaction!

Yes, we were spoiled rotten as kids born in the 60s with such phenomenal music. whether it be our parents music or what was currently on the radio… no matter what station you spun the dial to or genre. It was all great music… can I go back to that time now?
