Little Willie John "Need Your Love So Bad": A little somber romantic interlude for you lot out there. John's story is a sad one - this cat was doing it big in the '50s and '60s, with guys like James Brown opening up for HIM! This track has been covered by Fleetwood Mac, Joe Cocker, Whitesnake and others, but the original is so beautiful, I don't want to hear their versions. My wife had me on the hunt for this song, and I'm glad she did - there's a lot going on here. Willie John died in jail, serving 8-12 on a manslaughter charge after stabbing a nigga to death, but he was posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. Rest in peace, John.
