As I took another listen to Rod Stewart's rendition of "Fooled Around and Fell In Love" today, I realized how many artists he's introduced to me by default. It's like he was an older brother watering down songs so that people like me could find out the original versions. Strange, but I find a lot of his choices for covers to be that way. Back when I wasn't attuned to rock critic speak and...

Filed under: Twisted Tales Soul singer Clarence Reid had a Top 40 in 1969 with 'Nobody But You Babe,' an "answer" record to the Isley Brothers' smash 'It's Your Thing.'
