"You're No Good" was written by Clint Ballard, Jr. The song was first recorded and released by two female soul singers, Betty Everett and Dee Dee Warwick. It became an R&B hit for Everett in 1963. In 1975, Linda Ronstadt took a more rootsy art rock approach to the song and her version went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and top ten on the Billboard country chart. Even Amy Winehouse has had a go ruining this one (Opps sorry Amy not my scene I suppose!). (Right that's my Vic Lewis pop guru impression done this week while he is on sabbatical from GN :wink: :wink: )

If you listen to the Blue Jeans recording it has a geat hook bassline for all you bass player guys out there. Haven't got any tab for that though! Any takers there please?

Can't find the Blue Jeans version on Youtube but here's a link to Linda Ronstat's version to give you all an idea:
