"Some Guys Have All The Luck" is a song written by Jeff Fortang^[1], which has been a Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 twice, first by The Persuaders in 1973 (reaching #39), then by Rod Stewart in 1984, whose version hit #10.

Louise Mandrell recorded a country version of the song in 1985, altering the lyrics to the female perspective and changing the title to "Some Girls Have All the Luck." Mandrell's version peaked at No. 22 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in the late winter of 1986.

Other artists who have recorded this song include Robert Palmer and Maxi Priest. After Palmer's death, Stewart began using the Palmer-style arrangement in live concerts.

Kelly Clarkson covered the song for her All I Ever Wanted Summer Fair Tour. The lyrics were also altered to the female perspective.
