WILD THING is best know in the performance of the TROGGS
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT the composer of this song is CHIP TAYLOR, (real name: James Wesley Voight) more that man is the brother of the actor JON VOIGHT and is a full uncle of Angelina Jolie. I discovered this more by coincidence, searching on IMDb to find a recent movie with Angelina Jolie. I clicked on her fathers name and it seemed he has also a very artistic brother: CHIP TAYLOR. I didn't believe either that he wrote that song, after checking and checking, it is that man. I found the song on limewire and I have it on PC. As far as I could follow it was a kind of protest song about a president.
If you don't believe me, you can find the true story on Wikipedia, google ---> Chip Taylor ---> look on the wikipedia site. But, I don't exclude that there could be an old song, or traditional, rearranged by him.
The other song "without you" is indeed best know in the version of HARRY NILSSON, 1 YEAR LATER than the original song, he discovered it (maybe with help from his drinking brother John Lennon at that time, and the fact that BADFINGER was signed on their label. It is so strange that he discovered that song and for me it is one of the songs performed in a PHENOMENAL way, straight from the heart. How many couples have met each other on this song, or used it to be the first song on their wedding? Other performers are, the "hardrock (ladies) band HEART, and the well known version by MARIAH CAREY, a version I don't like a lot, because for me, this version is so STERILE & NOT STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART.
Without You" is a song originally recorded by Badfinger for their album No Dice (1970), and written by Pete Ham and Tom Evans and produced by Geoff Emerick . The song came on that album, I have the song, but it is more a "poppy tune" and to be honest, you recognise the song, but it is nothing special. Some of the lyrics are a little bit harder (though almost the same). The weird thing is that and HAM and EVANS committed both suicide. Pete HAM in 1975 and after a big dispute concerning the royalties from "without you" EVANS committed suicide as well in 1983.
I think the composers could live for the rest of their life doing nothing, just using their money from royalties from "without you". Nilsson topped the US charts 4 weeks number one) and I even don't mention Mariah Carey, who was even longer in the charts.
All this can be found on sites like Wikipedia.
