who wrote i fought the law

“I Fought the Law” was written by Sonny Curtis, a member of the Crickets, in the late 1950s and first released by the Crickets in 1960.

The song later became famous through the Bobby Fuller Four’s hit version in 1965–1966, which pushed the Curtis‑penned track into the rock canon.
