Why Don't You Do Right (original) - Lil Green 1941

Super chic

Happy Birthday Lil Green. Originally named Lillian Green, she was born in Mississippi; after the early deaths of her parents, she went to Chicago, Illinois, where she began performing in her teens and where she would make all of her recordings.Green was noted for superb timing and a distinctively sinuous voice. She was 18 when she recorded her first session for the 35 cent Bluebird subsidiary of RCA. In the 1930s she and Big Bill Broonzy had a night club act together. Her two biggest hits were, firstly, her own composition "Romance in the Dark" (1940), which was later covered by many artists, such as Dinah Washington and Nina Simone (in 1967), although Billie Holiday also recorded a different song with the same name. Then came Green's own (1941) version of Kansas Joe McCoy's minor key blues and jazz influenced song, "Why Don't You Do Right?", which was covered by Peggy Lee in 1942 and many others since. As well as performing in Chicago clubs, Green toured with Tiny Bradshaw and other bands, but never really broke away from the black theatre circuit. -wiki

I've heard many versions of this song, and this one is by far the best. Just the right amount of sultry and loudness.

Leonard Tooley

best version ever

If I'm not mistaken, Peggy Lee recorded this in July of '42.

There wouldn't be a cover of this song for you to compare it to if the original hadn't been recorded by Lil' Green. So even if you don't like this original version you should thank your lucky stars it got recorded back in 1941 otherwise you would be shit out of luck.
