Baby, Please Don't Go

[ifyouwantblood]

This must be the sluttiest song going around, and I just want to find out, once and for all, who originally wrote this song (and recorded I suppose).

I've heard, I think, about 10 versions of this by artists like AC/DC (of course), Van Morrison (of course), John Lee Hooker etc.

By default AC/DC's version is the best I've heard, but I could be biased, haha.

So let me know, if you so have the knowledge.

Funny they are missing AC/DC's killer version. This is probably because there are 50 other versions aside from the 25 listed here.

AC/DC's version was never released outside of Australia, which is probably why it's not on that list.

Van Morrison's is the best \m/

Van Morrison is a King \m/

Van Morrison's version is quite good. I'm actually going to see a Van Morrison tribute next month.
