Fortune Teller by Tony Jackson with the Vibrations (1965)


My first introduction to "Fortune Teller" was from Live at Leeds, the Who's seminal 1970 live album. More often than not, I fall in love with the first version of a song that I hear. Other versions, while perhaps interesting, usually don't hold up to the version I first fell in love with. This song is an exception.

The garage-y feel of this version by the ex-Searchers bassist/vocalist stands out to me.
