History[Edit][]

The song was written by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. His version from 1956 , however, was not popular enough to end up in the charts . One of the first covers was that of Nina Simone, which it did considerably better in sales; number 23 in the Us BillBoard R & B-list and number 49 in the United Kingdom. In 1966 Alan Price did that again ultimately with number 80 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 9 in the English list. Alan Price pulled out with the song the eleventh position in the Dutch Top 40.

In 1972 came than the (in Netherlands) best known version by Creedence Clearwater Revival. This removed all in 1968 "only" the 58th place in the United States, but three weeks in Netherlands in 1972 stood in third place. The b-side consisted of two tracks: Molina (from album Pendulum) and Fortunate Son. John Fogerty (vocals,guitar), Tom Fogerty (guitar); Stu Cook (bass), and Doug Clifford (drums) played a pure guitar version, which the agreements swings well lets hear it.
