who did the song " Mercy Mercy Mercy"?

ahhh! so many people have done it I can't trace it back to the source

was it cannonball adderly?

maceo?

 

The song was written by Josef Zawinul and I believe first recorded by Cannonball Adderly.

Hope this helps

 

Ah i love that song.

 

Cannonball is correct. There are many good covers of this out there. Jaco has a good cover on one of his Live in New York CDs.

 

Y'know,

Someone should invent a program that lets you type in information that you're looking for and brings up a list of webpages with the answer.

It could be called a search engine.

 

hmmm.....search engine! that sounds like a great idea!! I'll start one and call it 'Google'.

 

There was also an R&B cover with lyrics done by Johnny Guitar Watson and Larry Williams that made the Top 40.
