“Every Little Bit Hurts,” written by Ed Cobb and originally recorded
by soul singer Brenda Holloway in 1964, is one of those songs that
just keeps coming back. Small Faces, The Clash, George Clinton, The
Jam, and others have covered the song with success, and, like “The
First Cut is the Deepest,” the song seems to weather any
interpretation that’s thrown at it. I found my favorite version, by
the Jamaican group The Rulers, on a MOJO compilation that came out a
few years back. As a bonus, I’ll throw in the other Rulers song that
was on the compilation, “Wrong Em’ Boyo,” which was also covered by
The Clash.
