| Song |
"Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" is a song written by Joe Zawinul in 1966 for Julian "Cannonball" Adderley and his album Mercy, Mercy, Mercy! Live at 'The Club'. The song is the title track of the album and became a surprise hit, reaching #11 on the Billboard charts, and has been re-recorded numerous times (usually with lyrics added), perhaps most successfully by The Buckinghams in 1967.
It has now become a jazz standard performed by both beginning and advanced jazz musicians.
The theme of the song is performed by Joe Zawinul himself playing it on a Wurlitzer electric piano that he got used from Ray Charles.[1]
