“Sloop John B” by the Beach Boys is one of Rolling Stone magazine’s top-500 greatest songs of all time. It was originally a folk song called “The John B Sails.” In 1959, Johnny Cash recorded the song as “I Want to Go Home.” Jimmy Rodgers recorded the song in 1960 as the “Wreck of the John B.” The Beach Boy’s single, released on Capitol Records in 1966, is worth up to $50.00 today with its picture sleeve. It’s also included on the Beach Boys album, “Pet Sounds.” A mono copy of that album can now sell for $800.00.
