"Baby Please Don't Go" #102 4/24/1965

This blues standard can be traced to several 19th century work songs - reminds you of "Blazing Saddles" right? A UK Top 10 from a 19-year-old Van Morrison and Them that "bubbled under" the Hot 100 in America. Again, Jimmy Page is alleged to have played on this, although his contribution is unclear. The B-side "Gloria" got more airplay over here and was re-released several times; that garage-band classic lost out to a version by the Chicago-based Shadows of Knight.
