Easy Street?

[penguin]

I've always loved the CFTH EP, and I want to find out who did the original version of the songs on the EP. Could anybody point me in the right direction?

[Dave's PA Rental]

Well, the Beach Boys did 'California Girls'...

[RogueHorseman]

Coconut Grove was first done by the Lovin' Spoonful.

just a gigilo/i aint got nobody was louie prima he was a big hit during the late 40's and all thru the 50's

[RogueHorseman]

And Edgar Winter Group did a prior version of Easy Street, although it was not the first if memory serves (great, great song - love Dave's version).

Edgar of course was a big part of CFTH.

Saturday night at the corner cafe,
had me some drinks and I’m feelin’ my way,
moon’s on the rise and it looks like a night for romance.........

Shufflin’ down past the local hotel,
doin’ the rounds like I’m under a spell,
must be the place,
yes I knew when she asked me to dance.........

I’m on Easy, Easy Street.........
I’m on Easy, Easy Street.........

Seein’ as how I’m a regular guy,
Watchin’ the girls of the evening go by,
got me a chance so I’m takin’ it, makin’ it last.........

I’m on Easy, Easy Street.........
I’m on Easy, Easy Street.........

So if you’re feelin’ like you’re a lonely man,
and when ever you are down and need a gentle hand.........
There’s always Easy Street you know you got it planned,
but just remember boy,
it’s only a one night stand.........

[Cato]

I love Easy Streat.
Dave's version is cool, but the original written by Dan Hartman sounds much cooler to my ear..

it's included in this album.......one of my faves

Shock Treatment / The Edgar Winter Group(1973)

You could always just check the liner notes in the album.
