Please bring me someone to love by Percy Mayfield

[ekahiway]

In his autobiography 'Clapton', Eric says this was Ahmet Ertegun's favorite song... that Ahmet sang it to him often, in his "cracked old voice" Clapton played this song at the memorial tribute to Ahmet in '07.

James Booker does a great cover of this song, but the original is always great to hear.

Try listening to Mickey Newbury's sterling version of this masterpiece.

Percy also wrote 'Hit the road, Jack'...

Sade, did a remake of this song which is very well done with a modern spin. I didn't realize this song went so far back and was more of an old blues standard.

The best version is Geoff Muldaur's version on the Paul Butterfield Better Days album...
