Van Morrison And Them, The Series (Part Four) [VIDEO]

Van Morrison's amazing vocal alone turned this already classic song, "Baby Please Don't Go" into a British Invasion-era blues rock classic.

Them's arrangement which is a more rock version and not to mention  many other recordings of the song "Baby, Please Don't Go" was inducted into both the Blues and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame.

The song alone has been one of the most played, arranged, and rearranged pieces in blues history. What does that tell you?

"Baby Please Don't Go"  is in there as one of the earliest songs recorded by the  band Them.

Van Morrison and Them's rendition of the song was derived from a John Lee Hooker version he recorded in 1949 as "Don't Go Baby."  Hooker's song appeared on a 1959 album titled Highway of Blues.

'Baby Please Don't Go'  as Morrison explains, "was the only fast number on it. It struck me as being something really unique and different, with a lot of soul. More soul than I'd heard from any previous records."
