Hard Luck Blues
"Hard Luck Blues" is a 1950 song by Roy Brown and His Mighty-Mighty Men.[1] The single, backed by the Griffin Brothers Orchestra, was the most successful of Brown's career, reaching the number-one spot on the US Billboard R&B chart.[2] "Hard Luck Blues" reflected the ritual expression of inward griefs.[1] The song was written by Brown and AllMusic's correspondent, Bruce Eder, noted that the track was "almost unbearably tortured".[3]
