I post what I like and I like what I post.<\/span><\/p>\n

Barrett Strong, Money<\/a>.  Flying Lizards' parody<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Buckwheat Zydeco, Jackpot<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Dolly Parton, Silver Dagger<\/a>.  Great version, but then so is Joan Baez<\/a>'s.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elmore James, Dust My Broom<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Curtis Edwin Lee, one-hit wonder, hailed from Yuma, Arizona.  He died at 75 years of age on 8 January 2015.  Obituary here<\/a>. His signature number<\/a> became a hit in 1961, reaching the #7 slot on the Billboard Hot 100. The record was produced by the legendary Phil Spector, No wonder it is so good.  After the limelight, Lee returned to Yuma for a normal life.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
