Could you be thinking of the Ella Fitzgerald version?

It's not in this huge list of Billie Holiday's known recording.


Edit - 2 mods, one brain. Well almost a whole one.

All the way back to Studio 1! But I love Tosh's backing vocals in that version. They sound like goats or something, those vocals.

They recorded that song several times in different styles.

Jeez, the natives are getting restless. I don't usually recommend anything. But here's a pick to click, all the way from the bush, Burning Spear singing Marcus Garvey (ripped from an out of print anniversary dub record, so it qualifies as a "legal" MP3 download in our world).

Can't get no food to eat, can't get no money to spend. Indeed.

Appreciate your friends
In keeping with the direction the Beatles and Stones has taken I pick this:

3.) - KINKS
Dave Davies has mjp's old guitar a Flying V.
The dogs in the video are a nice touch too.

This song was one of the reasons I never bought another Kinks record. Forty years later I'm still tired of it.

And he's not just playing any Flying V, but a 1958 V, which was the first (and last) year they were made, until they redesigned them slightly in 1967 and started making them again.

As you might imagine, they weren't tremendously popular in 1958. Only a couple dozen sold. Consequently, buying one of them now will set you back about a quarter of a million dollars.

Screw books, if I had a time machine I'd head for the guitar shop.
