We might try this. Giving you a song for the weekend. You know, to get you started for nights to come, or something to listen to while your cleaning up the place, or doing all the things you didn’t get done during the week cause of your pesky job.
“Why Don’t You Do Right?” was written in 1936 by Kansas Joe McCoy. Although it is not in the twelve-bar blues form (it is more of an aabc form in which the c part is similar to the a part), many still consider the song to be a classic “woman’s blues;” it is really more a “complaint song.”
In 2009, the song was given a house treatment by Gramophonedzie as “Why Don’t You”, off his EP “Swingin’ With The Fishes”. His girlfriend, who is a fan of Peggy Lee (who recorded her version July 27, 1942 in New York with Benny Goodman) , was the inspiration for his update. As of March 18 Gramophonedzie version of the song is number two in the UK Dance Singles charts.
