Long John Baldry was a British-Canadian blues singer and voice actor whose career spanned the 1960s to the 2000s. Known for his rich, deep voice and 6'7" height, Baldry played a significant role in the British blues boom of the 1960s. He worked with several notable acts, including the Rolling Stones and Rod Stewart, and his 1967 hit "Let the Heartaches Begin" reached number one in the UK. Baldry's style of music was foundational to British rock, and his influence can be heard in many bands that followed.
