Willie Dixon ~ Little Red Rooster
This be the man that wrote it — and contrary to what many said or thought at the time he was really glad that Mick /The Stones covered it. He pretended for a bit it was some kind of thing but the cheques were all cashed with a smile. I my somewhat biased opinion Mr. Willie Dixon was one the greatest songwriters ever to hale from America! Sadly I saw him play twice live — once in Chicago and then in Windsor and the last time he had lost a leg due to diabetes!
