 El Condor pasa Orquesta del Zoológico 8-27-17
Victor 69903 		Los Incas, Simon & Garfunkel, Andy Williams
Daniel Robles composed the song in 1913 and, although it had been performed live, it appears not have been recorded until 1917.

Simon & Garfunkel's version (with new lyrics by Paul Simon) used Los Incas's recording for their music background. .

 Eve Of Destruction P.F. Sloan 1965
on lp Dunhill 50004 Songs Of Our Times 		Barry McGuire (7-15-65, 1990), Turtles, P.F. Sloan (2006 for Hightone)
This entry is a bit slippery as it's likely that Sloan's recording was his demo—although it's not labeled as such on the album—that happened to get issued. He has stated he wrote "Eve Of Destruction" 1964, so his version certainly predated McGuire's hit. I include this for historical perspective.

As to whether the Turtles' recording preceded Barry McGuire's, Turtles member Howard Kaylan has said theirs was deliberately different from his, implying they had heard it.

 Evil Ways Willie Bobo 7-27-67
Verve 10550 		Santana (5-12-69), Village Callers
"Evil Ways" was written by Willie Bobo's guitarist Sonny Henry. Initial pressings of Santana's hit (and album) erroneously credited Jimmy Zack, who had a different song with that title in 1960 (American 102). Also see the entry for "Jin-Go-Lo-Ba" for another Santana composer credit error.

Canned Heat had recorded the song in April, 1967 but that version remains unreleased.

John Mayall, Crow, Black Sabbath and Electric Light Orchestra had various songs titled "Evil Woman," all different compositions from Guy Darrell and Canned Heat's (written by Larry Weiss).

Williamson recorded the song twice in 1951, both issued on Trumpet 129. The later take pressing includes the suffix "2" on the matrix notation.

The Who's version was the only non-original on their album Tommy.

 Eyi Wala Dong (aka That Happy Feeling) Guy Warren (aka Kofi Ghanaba) 1957
on lp Decca 8446 Africa Speaks America Answers 		Dick Jacobs & His Skiffle Group (as "An African's Prayer"), Bert Kaempfert
Ghana native Kofi Ghanaba came to the US around 1955. Under the name Guy Warren, he composed and recorded a number of albums that combined African percussion and American jazz. "Eyi Wala Dong" translates to "My Thanks To God," which explains the alternate title. Warren's original was subsequently issued on a single (Decca 30352) as "An African's Prayer (Eyi Wala Dong)."
