Favorite version of Grateful Dead's Aiko Aiko?


I'm looking for a great version of this song. I heard a few great ones a long time ago but don't recall when they were recorded. Anyone here have a favorite?

Mcrosier, Jock-A Mo is the original recorded in 1953 by James "Sugarboy" Crawford. He also gets credit for writing the song along with three women. He claims he never has received a royalty payment for it. Since it was released on the Chess label that wouldn't be surprising as they had a habit of not paying royalties to their artists. The Dixie Cups version is a cover.
