R&B version of "Franky & Johnny"

Heard a great R&B version of the classic tune couple of weeks ago when I was down in South Carolina. No idea what the station was, rental car full of my golfing buddies. Anyone know what this might have been? TIA

"All songs considered" showcased this song Wendesday. There are so many versions and corrupted lyrics to it. An old song, 1890's and was covered from numerous bluesman to Elvis to todays artists. A.S.C. has a great back log of songs on their website you might get lucky and find the songs they covered. Tis a great site for music. "npr.com" links you to all songs considered.
