Born in Doveshire, England, in 1941, Long John Baldry (calledl "Long John" because he was 6'7") was a pioneer in the British blues-rock scene in the 1960s. He started out as a folk singer, often touring Europe with American folkie Jack Elliott (aka Ramblin' Jack Elliott). He switched to the blues, however, after playing with such bands as Alexis Korner and his Blues Incorporated band and Cyril Davies and His Rhythm and Blues All Stars. He formed his own band in 1964, The Hoochie-Koochie Men, then put together a band named Steampacket--which featured Rod Stewart--and then Bluesology, which included keyboard player Reg Dwight, later to change his name to Elton John.
In the late 1960s Baldry turned to pop music, and had a big hit with "Let the Heartaches Begin" in 1968, but by the early 1970s he was back to playing rock. In the mid-'70s he ran into some personal problems and took some time off from the music industry. In 1980 he moved from the UK to Canada and became a Canadian citizen, and only occasionally recorded and played club dates in Canada. He died in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 2005.- Beginning his wrestling career in 1950 in the United Kingdom as "Judo" Al Hayes, the man who later became known as "Lord Alfred Hayes" joined the World Wrestling Federation in 1982 and retired from active wrestling in 1983. Not one to leave the wrestling business, Hayes became a commentator for the World Wrestling Federation; most notably as Vince McMahon's co-host on "WWF Tuesday Night Titans" where he played Ed McMahon to Vince's Johnny Carson. He also commentated the Hulk Hogan/King Kong Bundy main event at WrestleMania 2. Slowly phasing out from his roles in front of the camera, Hayes became the main voice for the World Wrestling Federation's home video releases. In 1990, Hayes was struck by a speeding car in Stamford, Connecticut resulting in a broken back, a broken hip and blood poisoning from all the dust and dirt than entered his wounds. As a result of the accident, Hayes required several vertebrae to be removed resulting in a loss of height. By 1993, Hayes' duties for the World Wrestling Federation remained mainly behind the camera and by 1995, he retired from the company. Alfred's health began to severly diminish; after contracting gangrene, his leg had to be amputated, and by 2001, he was confined to a wheelchair. Hayes suffered a series of strokes in July 2005 and eventually passed away at the age of 76. Hayes may be gone, but his memory lives on in wrestling fans and observers the world over.
