Rocky Wrecked

Lena Horne
Rocky Raccoon
Skye - 4523

MP3 File
In our last post we were pleasantly surprised by the Crew Cuts' cover of Susie-Q. This cover of The Beatles' Rocky Raccoon by Lena Horne, however, is just about what you'd expect.

Susie Crew

The Crew-Cuts
Susie-Q
Mercury - 71125
1957

MP3 File
You're probably already familiar with the 1968 Creedance Clearwater cover of Susie-Q. You may even be familiar with Dale Hawkins' superior original. This version by the Crew-Cuts however, really caught me by surprise.

Disclaimer:

Most of the music files presented here come from my personal 45 collection and are posted for purposes of musical enlightenment only. These are mostly obscure songs, over 40 years old, that may not have been reissued on CD. The intention is to raise awareness of underappreciated artists/songs. If you like what you hear, seek these artists out on CD or get out there and find some of this old vinyl for yourself... If you are the copyright holder and wish any files to be removed, I will do so immediately upon request.
