About I Fought the Law

"I Fought the Law" is a song written by Sonny Curtis of The Crickets and popularised by a cover by The Bobby Fuller Four, becoming a US top-ten hit for the band in 1966. While one version of the Clash's decision to cover the song is that a 45 single of The Bobby Fuller Four version on an American studio jukebox, it is true that Ducks Deluxe issued a cover single. 'I Fought The Law/Cherry Pie' (RCA 2531, 1975) in the UK and Joe Strummer with the band 101'ers had been on the same pub rock circuit as Ducks Deluxe. .
