Blues & Cover Songs

[rjmco...@aol.com]

OK, just to keep this conversation going, I went through my lists and came up with the following list.  Five are my songs - blues.  The rest of the list, 15 songs, are all pretty easy and I have the lyrics and/or chord changes.  Now, the list includes some blues, swing, soul, rock and even a couple of country tunes.  With the exception of Because the Night, I've played them all in public and they get a good response:

1. Minnie the Moocher – Cab Calloway
2. Night Train – Jimmy Forrest
3. Sixteen Tons – Merle Travis
4. Fever – Peggy Lee
5. Hey Good Lookin’ – Hank Williams
6. I Heard it through the Grapevine – Marvin Gaye
7. Rave On – Buddy Holly
8. Shake a Tailfeather – Ray Charles
9. Standing in the Shadows of Love – Four Tops
10. What’s Goin’ On – Marvin Gaye
11. Because the Night – Patti Smith & Bruce Springsteen
12. Midnight Hour – Wilson Pickett
13. Mercy Mercy – Cannonball Adderly
14. Rollin’ and Tumblin’ – Muddy W aters
15. Runaround Sue - Dion
16. Bodhisattva’s Chicken Salad Blues
