BEFORE IT WAS A HIT SONG…

These songs are well known but you may not know about the earlier attempts to score a hit record with prior versions of the same song.

The Man Who Sold The World

Many of us were first introduced to "The Man Who Sold The World" when Nirvana included it at the band's MTV Unplugged concert and subsequent 1994 album. 

The original was released by David Bowie in 1970-1. Penned by the singer, the single was the title track from 1 of his early album releases. 

Lulu peaked at #3 on the British chart with her rendition of the song in 1974. Bowie co-produced the female singer's version with Mark Ronson.

Each new song will be added to the spotify playlist named: ‘Before It Was A Hit Song’.  You can check out the previous earlier / original versions of the hit songs you know and love.
