A version of "Hey Joe" was first put on single in 1965 by the Californian rock band Chet Powers.
Already in 1962, William Moses Roberts Jr. , artistname Billy Roberts copyrighted the song stating he had written the song. But because it draws on so many well-established blues song conventions, the song seems considerably older.
