Do-Boy Diamond: the real talent behind the Adele phenomenon

Post  pinhedz on Thu Feb 16, 2012 3:49 am

Adele just won all those Grammys, mostly on the strength of her song "Rolling in the Deep."

But as we all know, "Rolling in the Deep," is just a reworking of Do-Boy Diamond's song "Going Away blues." bounce

I think Dave Ray's version of "Going Away Blues" is the best one:

Here's Do-Boy (actually Dubois, but his parents couldn't spell) performing "Long Haired Doney:"

Do-boy said he gave up playing at social functions in 1959, because they kept him up too late. Laughing
