Iko Iko
James "Sugar Boy" Crawford recorded as Shaw Weez, Shaweez, Sugar Boy & the Cane Cutters, James Sugar Boy, and later James Crawford, Jr. In 1954 he called this Cajun melody “Jackamo” and claimed he composed it when he recorded it for Chess Records.
The Dixie Cups “Iko, Iko” (group members listed as composers: Hawkins-Hawkins-Johnson) hit the top twenty in 1965. At the time their manager was Joe Jones of “You Talk Too Much” fame. The family of Joe Jones claimed he was the composer. Of course, they are all wrong, I composed the tune.
