I got bill wyman's [bass player for the rolling stones] 1976 album
called 'stone alone'. i have a record copy of it, but wanted it on CD. i
had to order it as an import as the US issue is out of print. it has the
ORIGINAL version of 'if you wanna be happy' on it! That song of course
was famously covered by Kid Creole and the Coconuts in the eighties. i
know it is favourite of yours. the seventies version is far better, of
course, as the 70's was a much cooler decade than the 80's [but you
already know that]. if i come across a realaudio copy of it, i will, of
course, forward the link to you on RSPW so everyone can enjoy it!

>Yes, and Wyman's is by no stretch of the imagination the original
version as claimed above.
"If You Wanna Be Happy" was written by Carmela T. Guida, Frank J. Guida
and Joseph F. Royster (current publisher unknown). It was originally
recorded in 1963 by Jimmy Soul (real name: James McLeese) for S.P.Q.R.
Records, which version charted for 14 weeks that year, 2 of them at #1.
Besides Wyman and Kid Creole & the Coconuts, numerous cover versions
include ones by Barnes & Barnes (of "Fish Heads" fame) and Joe Dolce (of
"Shaddup You Face" fame).
There was also an "answer" record, "Never Pick a Pretty Boy", by Dee Dee
Sharp (Cameo Records, 1964; charted for one week at position #131).
Written by James J. Wisner and William E. Jackson, published by Legs
