"Evil Woman" is a song written and recorded by Minneapolis-based band Crow that appeared on their 1969 album Crow Music. It was covered in 1970 by Black Sabbath and was released as their first single. The song also appeared on the Sabbath's debut album, Black Sabbath, later that year.
Despite being Sabbath's first single, "Evil Woman" was excluded from Black Sabbath's debut album in the United States, being replaced by "Wicked World". The song was first officially released in the U.S. in 1996 when Castle Records reworked and reissued the Black Sabbath catalogue. The first time it was available from the band's own label, Warner Bros. Records, was in 2002 on the compilation Symptom of the Universe: The Original Black Sabbath 1970-1978.
