Friday on my Mind 141: RIP John D Loudermilk
Posted in 1960s, Friday On My Mind, Music at 10:00 on 2 December 2016
I only discovered this week that John D Loudermilk has also gone from us this year.
He didn’t have a hit in his own right in the UK but was the composer of several for others.
Tobacco Road was covered by the Nashville Teens,
The Nashville Teens: Tobacco Road
This Little Bird by Marianne Faithfull,
Marianne Faithfull: This Little Bird
and Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian – which I remember as titled (The Lament of the Cherokee) Indian Reservation; a change which makes the lament a more general rather than individual one – by Don Fardon.
Don Fardon: Indian Reservation
John D. Loudermilk: 31/3/1934 – September 21/9/2016. So it goes.
