abstract
  • %22Baby, Please Don't Go%22 is a blues song which has been called %22one of the most played, arranged, and rearranged pieces in blues history%22 by music historian Gerard Herzhaft. It was likely an adaptation of %22Long John%22, an old folk theme dating back to slavery in the United States. Delta blues musician Big Joe Williams popularized it with several versions beginning in 1935. The song's roots have been traced back to nineteenth-century American songs which deal with themes of bondage and imprisonment. %22Baby, Please Don't Go%22 became an early blues standard with recordings by several blues musicians like Papa Charlie McCoy, Leonard %22Baby Doo%22 Caston, Lightnin' Hopkins, John Lee Hooker and Big Bill Broonzy.After World War II, Chicago blues and rhythm and blues artists adapted the song to newer music styles. In 1952, a doo-wop version by the Orioles reached the top ten on the race records chart. In 1953, Muddy Waters recorded the song with an electric Chicago-ensemble blues piece, which influenced many subsequent renditions.In the 1960s, %22Baby, Please Don't Go%22 became a popular rock song after the Northern Irish group Them recorded it in 1964. Several music writers have identified Jimmy Page, a studio guitarist at the time, as being in the recording, although his exact contributions are unclear. Subsequently, Them's uptempo rock arrangement has become a rock standard. %22Baby, Please Don't Go%22 has been inducted into both the Blues and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame.
