Long John Baldry
 John
Baldry was a giant on the early 60s British blues scene in more
than one sense - He was six foot seven inches tall (hence the
"long" moniker).
Baldry sang with Alexis Korner and then led Cyril Davies'
R&B All Stars after Cyril's death in 1964, changing the name
to The Hoochie Coochie Men.
In 1965 he formed Steam Packet,
which included Rod Stewart and Elton
John in the line-up.
Despite his authentic blues voice, Baldry's only record success
was with two slushy sentimental ballads; Let The Heartaches
Begin (a Number 1 in 1967) and Mexico (1968).
