Little Red Rooster - The Rolling Stones
The Stones' chart-topping cover is fantastic, the Sam Cooke cover is fantastic and, although I haven't heard it, I'm sure that Howling Wolf's original is fantastic too. |

Another very good cover of a classic Drifters song, but this time one not composed by the magnificent songwriting team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. |
