"Daddy Rollin' Stone" is a masterful cover of the 1953 version by Otis Blackwell. Martin's rendition came out in 1963 and marked his first solo effort - it didn't chart, but it started getting him the attention he deserved. Too bad it didn't translate into a sustained chart career.

"Daddy Rollin' Stone" by Derek Martin
