Are you sure?
Little Red Rooster by Margie Day & Griffin Bros. (Dot 1019 ) is not related to the Willie Dixon song made famous by Howlin' Wolf and the Rolling Stones.

Both the Originals book and Whitburn contradict that site..

I've just listened to "Little Red Rooster" on Acrobat ACRCD 209 "The Griffin Brothers: Blues with a beat - featuring Margie Day" and can confirm that it is a different song.

Indeed. This is what Dick Rosemont says:
Hi Bastien,
I do have the Margie Day 78 and can assure you it's not related to Willie Dixon's composition. I'm quite careful about the information on my site. Of course I'm always open to corrections but this I'm positive about. FYI, the songwriting credit on Day's is Griffin-Griffin.
Best,
Dick Rosemont
And meanwhile Arnold Rypens has updated the information on his website:
De Little Red Rooster van Margie Day with The Griffin Brothers (Dot - '50) is een ander nummer.
We can now safely say the Margie Day song is a different song.
