 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Staggerlee **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> (public domain) The Rooftop Singers [’63, ‘Stagolee’ //Walk Right In// Vanguard 9123], which in turn borrows and adapts the beginning and the end verses of Tennessee Ernie Ford‘s version [‘51, ‘Stack-o-Lee’ Capitol F 1349], Clyde McCoy with Billie Jane Bennett [’51, Mercury 5551]; the writer credit on these ‘51 versions is Lou Busch, aka Joe Fingers Carr, who accompanied Ford. Based on an 1895 incident, the story has been told in a variety of songs which are often not the same, either lyrically or musically or both. The best known version is Lloyd Price’s big hit ’Stagger Lee’ [’59, ABC-Paramount 9972], based on the version by Archibald [’50, ’Stack-A’lee’ Imperial 5068]. The first recording of the name ’Stack O’ Lee Blues’ is an instrumental by Fred Waring’s Pennsylvanians [‘23, Victor 19189]; subsequent jazz recordings include Duke Ellington: the Washingtonians [‘28, Harmony 601H], Cab Calloway [’31, Banner 32378] (with a vocal towards the end), Sidney Bechet: Bechet/Nicholas Blue Five [’46, ’Old Stack O’Lee Blues’ Blue Note 54]. Of the other versions from the ’20s, Mississippi John Hurt [‘28, ‘Stack O’ Lee Blues’ Okeh 8654] is the best known. Ma Rainey’s [‘25, Paramount 12357] is more like ‘Frankie and Johnnie.’ Others include Long Cleve Reed & Little Harvey Hull [‘27, ‘Original Stack o’ Lee Blues’ Black Patti 8030] and Furry Lewis [‘27, ‘Billy Lyons and Stack O’Lee’, Vocalion 1132]. A pop version by white vaudeville crooner Cliff Edwards, in two parts, emphasizes the racial background of the story [‘28, Columbia 1551-D]. Country versions include Frank Hutchinson [‘27, ‘Stackalee, Pt. 1 & 2’ Okeh 45106], David Miller [‘27, ‘That Bad Man Stackalee’ Gennett 6188], the Fruit Jar Guzzlers [‘28, Paramount 3121], Carson Robison [‘32, Decca (British) F3026, 2 parts], and Woody Guthrie [’44, //Bound for Glory// Folkways 2481 78/1]. Versions of the folk/blues revival include the New Lost City Ramblers [’62, //Vol. 4// Folkways FA 2399] (similar to Hurt version with additional words), Dave Van Ronk [’63//, Dave Van Ronk: Folksinger// Prestige 14012], Tom Rush [‘63, //Blues, Songs and Ballads// Prestige PRLP-7374], Taj Mahal [’69, //De Ole Folks at Home// Columbia GP 18], Doc & Merle Watson [’71, //Ballads from Deep Gap// Vanguard VSD 6576].
