Also known just as “Stealin'”, the song “Stealin’ Stealin” was first recorded by the great Memphis Jug Band in 1928. The covers have mostly been by folk and jug band musicians. There’s a fine version by Raphael Saadiq for the 2017 documentary American Epic. The Grateful Dead, which had jug band roots recorded it. Jerry Garcia did a version with David Grisman.

Here’s another song recorded by Betty Everett and released in 1965. I know it best from the Elvis Costello version from 1980. It was written by Van McCoy who had a hit with “The Hustle”.

“The Shoop Shoop Song (It’s in His Kiss)” was a big hit for Betty Everett in 1964. It was one of the few American records in the spring of 1964 that withstood the onslaught of the Beatles and the rest of the British Invasion.

“Juicy John Pink” is a Procol Harum song from their third album A Salty Dog (1969). That’s Robin Trower on guitar. I have always liked this song since it was released while I was in high school. It’s much more blues-influenced than the usual Procol Harum track.

“Satan, Your Kingdom Must Come Down” is a traditional song. I know the Uncle Tupelo version best which is why I posted it.

“Act Naturally” was originally recorded by Buck Owens in 1963 but the best known version is probably the cover by the Beatles in 1965. It was their last cover.

O. V. Wright’s great recording of “You’re Gonna Make Me Cry” is from 1965. If you don’t know his work, check out the album shown in the YouTube video below. He was a great singer backed with great musicians.

The Holmes Brothers, a group of older guys performing in the 1960s style decades later, released a fine cover in 1993.

Doug Sahm’s “Stoned Faces Don’t Lie” was recorded with his band the Sir Douglas Quintet on The Return of Doug Saldana in 1971. I know it from the Bottle Rockets Songs of Sahm cover album from 2001.
