Etta James Version: Gotta Serve Somebody
What you should know about this song: “Gotta Serve Somebody” was the opening track for the radically different Slow Train Coming album. The song won Dylan his first ever Grammy Award, winning Best Male Vocal Performance of 1979.
“Me like his song ‘serve Somebody’ quite a bit. I glad he do it, too, y’know, because there comes a time when an artist just cannot follow the crowd. If you are an artist like Bob Dylan, you got to make the crowd follow you.” – Bob Marley
