- Van Morrison rose to prominence in the mid-1960s as the lead singer of the Northern Irish R&B and Rock band "Them". In 1964 the band recorded "Baby, Please Don't Go" a traditional blues song that was popularized by Delta blues musician Big Joe Williams in 1935. Jimmy Page of (Led Zeppelin), a studio guitarist at the time, also participated in the recording session, on rhythm guitar. Subsequently, Them's uptempo rock arrangement of the tune also made it a rock standard. AC/DC and Aerosmith are among the rock groups who have recorded the song. "Baby, Please Don't Go" has been inducted into both the Blues and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame. Here is a LIVE clip of Van Morrison and Them performing the song some time in the mid 1960s.
