Boppin' the Blues
There are two Robert Gordons. 1) An American rockabilly revivalist. 2) A British techno producer.

1) Robert Gordon (b. 1947) grew up in Bethesda, M.D., a suburb of Washington D.C. Unlike many of his heroes, he had a relatively comfortable childhood. At a young age, after hearing Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel, he was inspired to choose R'n'R as his future career path, according to Wikipedia. In the mid-seventies Gordon was a part of the then-flourishing downtown NYC punk scene Read Full BioThere are two Robert Gordons. 1) An American rockabilly revivalist. 2) A British techno producer.

In the mid-seventies Gordon was a part of the then-flourishing downtown NYC punk scene, fronting the CBGB regulars, Tuff Darts (who appear on an early CBGB live compilation album). After recording one album with the band ("All for the Love of Rock 'n' Roll) he parted ways with the band to work with such artists as Link Wray and Chris Spedding, both of whom share a love for early rock 'n' roll and rockabilly. Bruce Springsteen wrote the song, Fire, for Gordon and played piano on the studio version which also features the guitar-legend Link Wray.

Boppin' the Blues
by Robert Gordon

"Welll all my friends are boppin' the blues, it must be goin round.
All my friends are boppin' the blues, it must be goin round.
I love you baby, I must be rhythm bound.

Welll the doctor told me boy you dont need no pills.
Yeaa the doctor told me man you dont need no pills.
Just a handful of nickels and a jukebox will cure your ills.

Welll all my friends are boppin' the blues, it must be goin round.
All them cats just boppin' the blues, it must be goin round.
I love you baby, I must be rhythm bound.

Well the captain bid me man I dont feel no pain.
Yeaa that jitterbug caught me and man I dont feel no pain.
I still love you baby but I'll never be the same.

I said...All my friends are boppin' the blues, it must be goin round.
All them cats just boppin' the blues, it must be goin round.
I love you baby, I must be rhythm bound.
Get it cat....

Welll all my friends are boppin' the blues, it must be goin round.
Yeaa All them cats just boppin' the blues, it must be goin round.
I love you baby, I must be rhythm bound.

Well grandpa dun got rhythm and it threw his crutches down.
Ohh the old boy dun got rhythm and blues and it threw that crutches down.
Well grandma he ain't droppin', well the old boy's rhythm bound.

All them cats just boppin' the blues, it must be goin round.
all my friends are boppin' the blues, it must be goin round.
I love you baby, I must be rhythm bound.
Bop cat bop!
Rock bop rhythm and blues, a rock bop rhythm and blues, a rock bop rhythm and blues yea!
a rock bop rhythm and blues....a rhythm and blues and it must be goin round!"
