Cotton Fields performed by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Originally written by Lead Belly

Not a widely known/listened to song, and definitely not CCR's most popular, but one that comes to mind for me.

I also didn't know for a long time that Watchtower was a Bob Dylan song, probably realized it when i was a teenager, but i always liked the hendrix version better anyway

It is wise to check with Kafka before starting any thread related to music history.

New Grass Revival - Callin' Baton Rouge

Well, I'll be dipped. Never knew that. Also at Bela Fleck looking like he's about 15 years old.

Nice! If you noticed on the album cover Stevenson did one that Three Dog Night remade in the 70s, Shambala.

Hey, as long as it being a remake doesn't jump the shark right?

I knew it was a remake, but friends of mine didn't: the Johnny Rivers hit Slow Dancing was originally recorded the year before by the Funky Kings. I have a version later re-recorded by Jack Tempchin.

Basically every 60s and 70s rock song done by a white guy was originally recorded by an African American in the late 50s/early 60s.
