Following Background info is from David Bowie World:
‘The Manish Boys (with David Bowie) version
The Manish Boys’ (at that time featuring David Bowie) version was released in 1965. The recording was produced by Shel Talmy, who was also producing the early singles and albums by The Who and The Kinks. Jimmy Page was Talmy’s regular session musician and he played the guitar solo on “I Pity the Fool”.
During these sessions Page gave Bowie a guitar riff, which he didn’t know what to do with. Bowie later used this guitar riff in two different songs, first on “The Supermen” from 1971 and second on “Dead Man Walking” from 1997.
The B-side, “Take My Tip” was the first song written by David Bowie (then known and credited as Davie Jones) to be released on record.
