**Ram Jam — "Black Betty" (1977)** --- Ram Jam's rock adaptation of "Black Betty" exploded onto the airwaves in 1977. It was an instant international success, roaring into the Top 10 in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and the Netherlands, while hitting the Top 20 in the United States. Its driving, relentless rhythm and blistering guitar solo cemented it as a permanent global rock anthem. Ram Jam was essentially a short-lived studio project put together around New York guitarist Bill Bartlett. The band released two albums, but due to internal creative friction and a lack of identity outside of their signature track, they completely vanished from the global charts immediately after.
