This song has been covered by everyone from Wilson Pickett and the Rolling Stones to the 13th Floor Elevators. It was a hit for the Blues Brothers in 1980. But the Solomon Burke original is still my favorite version.

Song of the Day: Son of a Preacher Man
Famously, this song was first offered to Aretha Franklin and was turned down. She recorded it later, but it was a bigger hit for Dusty Springfield. Classic Memphis sound with Dusty's sultry vocals, win-win.
