Favorite version of Grateful Dead's Aiko Aiko?

Mcrosier, Jock-A Mo is the original recorded in 1953 by James "Sugarboy" Crawford. He also gets credit for writing the song along with three women. He claims he never has received a royalty payment for it. Since it was released on the Chess label that wouldn't be surprising as they had a habit of not paying royalties to their artists. The Dixie Cups version is a cover.

Definitive version...by the Belle Stars

my mistake

i have the Crawford version and thought it was 67'

that is the date of the release i have but obviously it was just pressed then. i didn't realize it was from the 50's

thanks for the info

If looking for a dead version, the newer 'Crimson, White and Indigo" DVD/CD release from philly in '89 is great.

The Dixe Cups for sure! Do yourself a favor and get the sound track to "The Big Easy". Iko Iko is the first track plus you get eleven more great songs from various artists. You can pick it up cheap ($3.00 used) on Amazon.
