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.

After Midnight

After being a member of various groups, including Cream and Blind Faith, Eric Clapton finally released a solo studio album. The self-titled LP featured the single "After Midnight". In 1970, the disc made the US Top 20.

The original version of the song was recorded by its composer: J. J. Cale. Issued in 1966, the American guitarist / singer-songwriter's interpretation failed to chart. In 1977, Clapton would cover another Cale song: "Cocaine".

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.
