"Have Love, Will Travel" is a 1959 song written and recorded by Richard Berry.[1] While the song may have been recorded before the end of 1959, the correct release date appears to be January, 1960.[2][3] The title is based on a popular television/radio western serial Have Gun, Will Travel. The Sonics version[edit]In its best known incarnation, garage-rock protopunkers, The Sonics, included the song on their 1965 album, Here Are The Sonics. Driven by a riff doubled on guitar, sax and bass, a big driving drum sound, screaming vocals and a saxophone break, it epitomized their sound. The Sonics changed the key from G to C, modified the riff (performing it instrumentally, rather than vocally), and (while they used the original chord progression, a basic 1-4-5-4 progression, G-C-D-C in G, or C-F-G-F in C), the modified riff emphasizes cross-relations of minor/major intervals against the keyboard. The guitar in the Sonics version does not use fuzz-tone, although it seems that some have mistaken the sax for a fuzz-tone guitar. This is the version that virtually all other performers copied after the '60s. Other versions[edit]
A different song by the same title, written by Lee Hazlewood, was released by The Sharps in 1958. Television and movies[edit]
