Product Description

"I Must Have Done Somebody Wrong" is a blues song written and recorded by Eddie Kirkland in 1959. Using the same lyrics but modifying aspects of the music, Elmore James recorded it as "Done Somebody Wrong" in 1960; he took sole writing credit for it and it came to be known as an Elmore James song. "Done Somebody Wrong" was interpreted by the Allman Brothers Band in 1971 and featured on their classic live album At Fillmore East. As Billboard magazine has stated, the song became "more associated with the Allmans than with James in the end."

When they were still teenagers in the early 1960s, brothers Duane and Gregg Allman were exposed to the song by Hank Moore, a local black musician who with his Orchestra had a record out and who had opened shows for Hank Ballard & The Midnighters. Moore went to the Allmans' house in Daytona Beach, Florida, and used "Done Somebody Wrong" to illustrate how bass lines fit into the structure of music, and the stop/start rhythms that Elmore James used became one of the foundations of the Southern Rock genre that the Allman Brothers pioneered.
