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.
I Shot The Sheriff
Eric Clapton topped the US Hot 100 in 1974 with "I Shot The Sheriff". It also reached #1 in Canada and New Zealand. Slow Hand's recording was included on his '461 Ocean Boulevard' album.
The original version had been issued the previous year by its writer Bob Marley on the reggae artist's album 'Burnin''.
In 1997, Warren G dropped a new version of the song which featured new lyrics. It was included on his 'Take A Look Over Your Shoulder' album.
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.
