"Some Other Guy" is a rhythm and blues song, written by Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller and Richie Barrett.[1] First released as a single by Barrett,[2] it featured an electric piano, then an unusual sound in pop music. Covered shortly afterwards by Liverpool's the Big Three and the Beatles, the song was a standard in the Merseybeat scene.
