This article about him (I have sent a message to see if Peter know anything) https://www.peterguralnick.com/post/161242971521/mr-c-speaks-johnny-daye-rip

Do you think you were being a bit harsh on 4th Funiest on this site ?, don't you think it was worth researching the singer after what 40 years of the tune being played, I first heard it at Cleethorpes and no one knew who he was, or even bothered until now

It's just a guess but it could be cowboy related Cajun being popular in country music It has been a noose round my neck trying to find out about him though 🤠

I'll throw this into the mix Karl https://www.discogs.com/artist/395063-Phil-Brown

So finally we may have an answer ?

I thought would ask Marv Goldberg and got a nice reply, bless "Hi, Alan, I don't know why you think I'm an expert on Soul music. I know next to nothing about it. My field is 1940s and 1950s R&B. However, I'm good at digging. This is what I found (most of this, but not all, has been found before):" And now, you have a picture of him. and a 1959 biography. Besides, anyone who dates Jo-Ann Campbell can't be all bad."

Nice idea His voice is somewhat different and what a tune this is (and Cheap) OOOOOWEEEEE

"Nothing you can do (apart from shoot someone) can take me away from my guy" Doesn't quite have the same ring to it

And don't get me started on the man behind it In 1967 Created a musical production company called “Young American Showcase, Inc.”. Lowell was the President and CEO for those years producing High School and Jr High School assembly shows and night concerts. Wrote the shows, designed and built all major props and taught audience communication for eight music groups. These groups performed in all the U.S. States, Canada, Australia and Hawaii. Since 1998, Lytle has played Captain Smith (The Titanic) for audiences all over the world. He has researched the passengers’ stories, memorized the captain’s last speech and even met some of the survivors. He has written about his experience, including playing the captain and traveling to the wreckage site, in Diving Into the Deep.
