The Fat Angel Sings

Rock history isn’t exactly littered with cover versions that became more definitive than the originals (though Joe Cocker’s “With a Little Help From My Friends” comes to mind), but Humble Pie delivered scores of them. None more definitive, we believe, than on the live album the ‘Rockin’ the Fillmore’s’ positively scorching reinvention of the classic R&B side ‘I Don’t Need No Doctor’ turned into a heavy rock powerhouse. From this point forward, arguably more artists have covered Humble Pie’s arrangement of the song than the Ashford/Simpson/Armstead original.
