However the song would first become a hit in November 1963 as recorded by Betty Everett for Vee-Jay Records of Chicago. The single peaked at number fifty-one on the Hot 100, and at number five on "Cashbox's R&B Locations" chart. . Vee-Jay's head a&r man Calvin Carter found the song while visiting New York City in search of material for his label's roster and he originally intended to cut "You're No Good" with Dee Clark. Carter recalled: "Then when I went to rehearsal with the tune, it was so negative, I said, 'Hey, guys don't talk negative about girls, because girls are the record buyers. No, I better pass on that. ' So I gave the song to Betty Everett. " During the playback of Everett's track her labelmates the Dells "were sitting on the wooden platform where the string players would sit.... just stomping their feet on this wooden platform to the beat of the song as it was playing back.... I told the engineer 'Let's do it again, and let's mike those foot sounds, 'cause it really gave it a hell of a beat. ' So we did that, and boom, a hit. " - Carter In the UK the Swinging Blue Jeans had the hit version of "You're No Good" reaching #3 in the summer of 1964: this version also charted in France at #26 and was successful enough regionally in the US to reach #97 on the Billboard Hot 100. Both Maria Muldaur and Genya Ravan have indicated they were interested in remaking "You're No Good" in the mid-70s but it was Linda Ronstadt who had the only #1 single of her career with her 1975 remake: the lead single from her career defining Heart Like a Wheel album, Ronstadt's version benefited inestimably from the contribution of Andrew Gold who provided virtually all the track's instrumentation. The success of "You're No Good" set a precedent for Ronstadt's single releases which over the next five years would virtually all be remakes of classic rock and roll songs. Other artists who have covered "You're No Good" include Ellie Campbell, Elvis Costello, Jose Feliciano, Keith Hampshire, Lulu, Reba McEntire, Rosie & The Originals, Floortje Smit, Ike and Tina Turner, Van Halen and Wild Orchid. The 2003 album release California by Wilson Phillips contains a version of "You're No Good" which like the Ronstadt version was produced by Peter Asher but radically reinvents the song. Season seven of American Idol featured a performance of "You're No Good" by Kristy Lee Cook.
