When " researching" my recent
Roxy Music post I noted that
Bryan Ferry has covered
Walk a Mile in My Shoes the terrific song written by
Joe South.
Joe had a hit with it in 1970 and it was subsequently covered by
Elvis Presley much to Joe's bank manager's delight I suspect.
It has also been covered by
Jerry Lee Lewis and
Otis Clay among others.
However the version that I am most familiar with comes from the mighty
Willie Hightower.
Checking the hard drive I also have a version by
Earl Grant courtesy of our friends over at
Funky16 Corners
Willie Hightower -Walk a Mile in My Shoes
Earl Grant - Walk a Mile in my Shoes
And for something completely different there is the wonderful Coldcut featuring Robert Owens version from 2006.
