Jerry Ragovoy

The songwriter Jerry Ragovoy passed away a couple days ago. In tribute, here are performances of a couple songs he wrote.

"Time Is On My Side" - Irma Thomas recorded this song in the early 1960's. You can see her performing the song in this post. The Rolling Stones saw her perform the song, copied her interpretation of the song, and it became one of their early hits.



"Piece of My Heart" performed by Janis Joplin



"Get It While You Can" - This song was also recorded by Janis Joplin, but it was recorded first by this man, Howard Tate.
