More info:

This traditional song was written and originally recorded as C.C. Rider by Big Bill Broonzy (real name: William Lee Conley) on Perfect Records (Perfect PE-0313) in the early 1920s. C. C. Rider was a black expression that meant "country circuit preacher". It is perhaps Ma Rainey who is most closely identified with the song. Her See See Rider Blues was popular in 1925, as was the 1945 reissue (Paramount 12252). Louis Armstrong (on cornet) and Fletcher Henderson (on piano) played on her recording. Ray Charles recorded See See Rider (Swingtime 217) in 1949. Under the title C.C. Rider (Atlantic 1130), Chuck Willis (featuring a white female vocal group) had a #3 rhythm & blues hit in 1957. His recordings reached #12 on the Top 100 chart. Other popular recordings have included those by LaVern Baker (Atlantic 2167) in 1962, Bobby Powell (Whit 714) in 1965, and the Animals (MGM 13582) in 1966. C. C. Rider by Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels served as the theme song for the 1970 Joe Namath-Ann-Margret movie, C.C. and Company. Elvis opened many of his concerts in the 1970s with See See Rider. He based his rendition on LaVern Baker's 1962 hit. All versions of the song on record were sung in concert. An April 9, 1972, performance in Hampton Roads, Virginia, was used in the documentary Elvis On Tour. See See Rider also appears in the TV specials Elvis: Aloha From Hawaii and Elvis in Concert. Album releases of the song have credited Elvis as the arranger, but no composer is listed. However, the British single listed the title as C.C. Rider and Ma Rainey as the composer. Glenn D. Hardin was credited with the arrangement.
