Long John Baldry has been a favorite of mine for many years. He died much too soon. "Don't TRY to lay no boogie woogie on the king of rock and roll," indeed.

for disturbing the peace and being brought before the magistrate for playing the boooogie woooogie (pronouncced BOO gee WOO gee) music. "Well, m'Lord . . . "
