Subject: RE: RADIO: More Stagger Lee than Cheese From: Lonesome EJ Date: 27 Mar 01 - 09:28 PM I agree Max, that's a good one. I also liked Longhair's. Who did the Top 40 version back in the mid-60s? Was that Wilson Pickett? Joe Cocker had a pretty rocking version too. Mine? Still in the studio... |

We'll do this again with other songs sometime. We may have just set a world record. |
