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.

Some Guys Have All The Luck

In 1984, Rod Stewart charted with a single entitled "Some Guys Have All The Luck", lifted off his 'Camouflage' album. In Britain, the disc peaked at #15. It also reached the Top 10 on the American Hot 100.

Jeff Fortgang wrote the song. The original hit version was recorded by the American vocal group The Persuaders. This interpretation peaked at #39 in the U.S.A. back in 1973.

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.
