Stevie Shares “Love Struck Baby” Performance With Brother, Jimmie, And It’s Awesome

Stevie Shares “Love Struck Baby” Performance With Brother, Jimmie, And It’s Awesome | Society Of Rock Videos

Boy, Was He Love Struck

From the 1989 DVD “A Celebration of Blues and Soul,” Stevie dedicates the touching love song “Love Struck Baby” to his “sweetheart” and it’s magical. To even say he was “on another level” would just be downplaying his incredible guitar technique, but you can really tell that Stevie was moved by his muse and wife- Lenora “Lenny” Bailey.

“Well I’m a love struck baby I must confess, life without darlin’ is a solid mess. Thinkin’ bout you baby gives me such a thrill, I gotta have you baby, can’t get my fill…”

From his first ever studio album, Stevie Ray Vaughan did his absolute best to channel hero and great Chuck Berry while recording this and unfortunately the charts never gave it the credit it deserved. However, it is famous for the “behind-the-head” solo that SRV remarkably plays and we can only assume that his love for Lenny was the moving force that influenced him to do so– besides his insane talent, of course.

Interesting Fact: The song “Pride and Joy” is also about his muse, as well as the instrumental “Lenny”, after she thought “Pride and Joy” referred to a former girlfriend of Vaughan.

One of our favorite parts about this performance is that it features brother Jimmie working an awesome guitar solo along with Stevie and you can just tell that Stevie is so happy to have him there, especially for a song that was so close to his heart. Enjoy this awesome live performance!

+ Love Struck Baby Lyrics +

Well I’m a love struck baby I must confess
Life without darlin’ is a solid mess
Thinkin’ bout you baby gives me such a thrill
I gotta have you baby, can’t get my fill
I love you baby and I know just what to do

I still remember and let it be said
The way you make me feel take a fool to forget
I swore a ton of bricks had hit me in the head
And what you do little baby ain’t over it yet

Every time I see you make me feel so fine
Heart beatin’ crazy, my blood run wild
Lovin’ makes me feel like a might mighty man
Love me baby aint i your man

I’m a love struck baby
Yeah I’m a love struck baby
You got me love struck baby
And I know just what to do

Sparks start flyin’ every time we meet
Let me tell you baby you knock me off my feet
Your kisses trip me up they’re so dog gone sweet
Ya know baby you can’t be beat

I’m a love struck baby
Yeah I’m a love struck baby
You got me love struck baby
And I know just what to do
