I remember Joh Fred, and the song he had out back in 1968. I had just moved down from Kentucky and heard the song for the first time on radio station WLCS radio 910. He was truly a great talent. His real name was John Fred Gourier. He had the band John Fred and the Playboys. A great Rock-N-Roll band.
