@1blastman Besides doing a fabulous cover of this song, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss did a nice rendition at Jazz Fest back about 3 years ago. This song will live on forever because it's appeal appears to be addictive.
@9thWardJukebox I saw that set! You're right, their cover was excellent. The song definitely has a sensous, hypnotic, alluring quality. I never tire of the song no matter who covers it.
I'm sorry to hear of Benny Spellman's death. I grew up in London. UK. where Fortune Teller was compulsory repertoire. Cool to cool chord sequence. My salutations.
Sad to hear about Benny's passing, I had not heard that until I read it here.. I'm in a band named after his hit, The Fourtune-Tellers. Cheers to Benny and his music!!
This is good. My favorite covers of this are by Toussaint [naturally!] and the Iguanas.
