Friday Night Cat Fight

“Danny Boy “
Jackie Wilson : 74 Votes
Patti LaBelle: 27 Votes

“Need You “

Donnie Owens : 50 Votes
Johnny Jack : 46 Votes

This week, The Prowlers picked the original 1958 version of “Need You”, which just barely won over Johnny Jack’s great 1962 rendition. Jack gave a strong showing for a song that mainly a hit in the Pittsburgh area.

Today is Friday, the 13th, so I got to thinking about bad luck and good luck. And since Tuesday is St. Patty’s Day, the “luck of the Irish” will soon be upon us. So the show this week is all about good and bad luck with the Cat Fight taking on the traditional Irish tune, “Danny Boy”. Voice your choice and vote for either the amazing voice of Patti LaBelle or the “excitement” of vocal styling with Jackie Wilson.

This week’s Friday Night Cat Fight is a battle between 2 very capable ballad singers, Donnie Owens and Johnny Jack . Donnie cut the song in mid 1958 and it hit #25 on the pop charts. In 1962, Johnny Jack recorded a version of the same song and it was a big hit in the Pittsburgh area, but not nationally. Listen to both versions of the song, which are found near the end of the Cat Fight Podcast and decide which version you like better.
