Re: BC-A gets a point for the Performer
Now here's the odd story of a song,
Running Bear, which had an Indian brave with that name leaping into angry rapids to swim to his Little White Dove, who jumped into the boiling river from the opposite side to swim to him, and they drowned together. It was inspired by a Dove soap commercial and was written by J. P. Richardson, better known as The Big Bopper, one of the rock originals who was to die in a plane crash shortly after
Running Bear was recorded. You can hear him on the record, contributing some of the "oo-gahs." The artist singing lead, by the way, was JohnnyPreston.
