Who wrote the song "Aint Got You"? |
I know that Eric Clapton and Blues Brothers have done it, although who actually wrote it? Was it Clapton or Blues Brothers? Or someone else....? Calvin Carter wrote it. it was Blues Brothers that wrote it if you dont believe me look at this http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/blues+broth... Bob Dylan wrote the lyrics to 100's of songs done by other artists... I'm sure this is one example of that. If it's the song I think you're talking about, it's Jimmy Reed. I think, though, Little Walter may have claimed to writing it, but traditionally it's credited to Jimmy Reed. If it's that stop/start blues tune I'm thinking of, in which each verse ends "I ain't got you", I remember the Yardbirds did a pretty good cover of it. My old vinyl gives Clarence Carter writing credits. The song that Clapton recorded is credited to Calvin Carter, but Jimmy Reed has also be credited as the composer. I found one site that credits both as the composers: http://www.bluestrain.co.uk/tracks.html Earliest version I have is Billy Boy Arnold. As blah blah blah said, Billy Boy Arnold. Jimmy Reed is the writer of this tune. He first recorded it on the VeeJay label where it appeared on the "Black Radio" charts of the late 50s and early 60s. alicia keys? If I Ain't Got You - Alicia Keys. Alicia Keys Tom Petty kevien michales Bob Dylan I think was the original. You don't know what's it like to love somebody the way I love you. |
