Have you heard about my baby?
Yes, how I love her you don't know
Have you heard about my baby?
How I love, how I love her you don't know
I declare it hurt me so bad
Yes, when I heard she'd got to go

Have you heard about my baby?
Yes I tried, yes I tried, but I let her down
Heard about my baby?
Ooh yes, I tried and I let her down

Ooh, she burned me with her love
Yes, no other, no other will wear her crown

Yes, indeed

Have you heard about my baby?
Where she gone, where she gone, I just don't know
Yes, have you heard about my baby?
Ooh, where she gone, where she gone, I just don't know
Well, if you should see my baby
Yes, please tell her that I love her so

Yes, no more next time

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

John Mayall and his Bluesbreakers were never superstars in America, but were probably the most influential of the English blues bands on either side of the pond. In the early to mid 1960s, England was undergoing a sort of Blues-inspired musical renaissance, known now as the British Blues. The first keystone band of this era was Blues Incorporated, a live act through which much of the future British Invasion filtered. But as those musicians grew up to become recording artists, they moved on, and one of them, John Mayall, formed a band band that took up the mantle of incubator for much of the movement.

His Bluesbreakers included, at one time or another, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood, and Peter Green (who later formed Fleetwood Mac together), Aynsley Dunbar (who played with pretty much everyone else), Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce (later to form Cream), Larry Taylor (Canned Heat), Paul Butterfield (the Butterfield Blues Band, itself a blues-rock birthing center), and others.

The Bluesbreakers had few hits themselves, especially on other side of the Atlantic. But without them, the music world would be a different place, today.
