Chet Baker (trumpet) and Art Pepper (alto sax) play "Minor Yours" (1956)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6pLCrgemFQ

from the album "Playboys" (1956)



Both Baker and Pepper were leading exponents of the West Coast "cool school" of bebop jazz.

Both were junkies who spent significant time in jail for their habits...

Pepper died of a stroke, aged 56, in 1982.
Baker fell out of a window in Amsterdam, aged 58, in 1988...

Session pianist Carl Perkins (the other one!) died aged 29 of a drug overdose in 1958.
Bassist Curtis Counce died of a drug-related heart-attack aged 37 in 1963...

The chord changes are based on the great Tin-Pan Alley song "Love me or Leave me", composed in 1928 by Walter Donaldson...

"Andy" by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention.

Album: One Size Fits All (1975)

This is my favourite album by Zappa, along with Overnite Sensation.

Fully agree, but I was aiming to post the (oft surprising..) originals of songs, rather than the cover version(s)!!

In that case:
Crazy Horse - I don’t want to talk about it
Gloria Jones - Tainted Love
The Family - Nothing Compares 2 U
The Top Notes - Twist and Shout
Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy - When the Levee Breaks

There are hundreds

Then there are great originals with arguably better covers, many of which are Bob Dylan's.
Also a couple of my favourites:
Siouxsie and the Banshees- Dear Prudence
I Put a Spell on You, one of the most covered songs of all time. Bonnie Tyler is my favourite but check out Nina Simone, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bryan Ferry, The Animals, Jeff Beck and Them.
