520    Everybody has to start somewhere. Businessmen start on the
       ground floor and try to work their way up the corporate 
       ladder. Baseball players bide their time in the minor 
       leagues wishing for an opportunity to move up and play in 
       the majors. Musical compositions aren't very different-- 
       some songs just don't climb the charts the first time 
       they're recorded. However, with perseverance, the ideal 
       singer, the right chemistry, impeccable timing, vigorous 
       promotion, and a little luck, these songs can become very 
       famous. So writes Bob Leszczak in the opening pages of Who
       Did It First? Great Rhythm and Blues Cover Songs and Their
       Original Artists. Here readers will discover the little-
       known history behind legendary rhythm and blues numbers on
       their way to the majors. As Leszczak points out, the 
       version you purchased, danced to, romanced to, and grew up
       with is often not the first version recorded. Like wine 
       and cheese, some tunes just get better with age, and 
       behind each there is a story. Who Did It First? contains 
       interesting facts and amusing anecdotes, often gathered 
       through Leszczak's vast archive of personal interviews 
       with the singers, songwriters, record producers, and label
       owners who wrote, sang, recorded, and distributed either 
       the original cut or one of its classic covers. The first 
       in a series devoted to the story of great songs and their 
       revivals, Who Did It First? is the perfect playlist 
       builder. Whether quizzing friends at a party, answering a 
       radio station contest, or simply satisfying an insatiable 
       curiosity to know who really did do it first, this book is
       a must-have.
