Today in Music History --
On today’s date 154 years ago, Friday, May 1, 1868, an obscure American fiddle player & Confederate veteran by the name of Thomas Caleb Dula (1845-1868), later better-known as Tom Dooley, met his untimely earthly demise at the age of 22 when he was hanged for the murder of his fiancée, Laura Foster -- an event that has since come to be known as “The Murder That Sold 10,000 Guitars.”
Good music. I didn't know this but that 1977 song started in 1939 as an African-American folk song.
"Black Betty" (Roud 11668) is a 20th-century African-American work song often credited to Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter as the author, though the earliest recordings are not by him. Some sources claim it is one of Lead Belly's many adaptations of earlier folk material.
There are numerous recorded versions, including a cappella and folk. The song was eventually, with modified lyrics, remade as a rock song by the American band Ram Jam in 1977. Subsequent recordings, including hits by Tom Jones and Spiderbait, retain the structure of this version.
