Wish Someone Would Care, 1964
Written by Jerry Ragovoy (as Norman Meade) and Jimmy Norman
I did not know, or had forgotten, that this song was not a Jagger-Richard original. It was first recorded as an instrumental by jazz trombonist Kai Winding! For this version by the Soul Queen of New Orleans, a singer named Jimmy Norman wrote the words. She belts them out as well as Aretha herself could have done it, and obviously in so doing created a standard, because the Glimmer Twins used her version as a template, though leaving out her impassioned monologue in the middle.
