And another song, not written by any of the members of The Clash. This one could even have been considered a classic by the time The Clash recorded their own version, as it had been recorded by
The Crickets in 1960 and been made popular by
The Bobby Fuller Four in 1964.
Written by
Sonny Curtis, the guitarrist of The Crickets,
I Fought The Law was included on the first album the band released after the death of their former lead singer
Buddy Holly.
