Wake Up Song of the Day: Eric Clapton “I Shot the Sheriff”. It’s the Friday Flashback Song! We “Flash Back” in 10-20-30-40-50-60-70 year increments to find Number One Songs at this time that are still remembered today, along with the artists and groups that perform. Or, Number One Songs that are long forgotten, along with the artists and groups that perform.
It was 1974 when Eric released his cover version of this song that became his only #1 song. The original was reggae singer Bob Marley and the Wailer’s version from 1973, though it did not chart. Eric added soft rock with the reggae sound and the popularity of the song is credited with helping reggae reach a mass audience. Bob Marley said the original title was supposed to be “I Shot the Police”, but the government would have made a fuss so I changed it to “I Shot the Sheriff”. A third version was done by Warren G and released in 1997. That version charted #20.
Eric’s version was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.
