I know Young Love was his biggest hit. But Running Bear was special to me.
What a classic song. He'll be remembered every time it is played.
I remember hearing this on the oldies channel in Deltona, FL. It was also featured in the movie How to Kill Your Neighbor's Dog starring Kenneth Branagh.
That is so sad! Possibly I should add Sonny James to my list of people I've killed (people I don't think or talk about as a habit but I did think or talk of them suddenly and next thing heard they were dead)! Ones definitely on the list are Mickey Rooney, Davy Jones, and Ralph Waite.
Wondering whether he should really count as a confirmed kill to my hit list. A friend had a birthday near the beginning of the month, and I shared the Seekers' hit version of "I Know I'll Never Find Another You." (So far, they're all still alive.) I knew we used to play a record with that song but not their version, and found Sonny James also had a hit with it, so shared it. I had never mentioned Sonny James before, but he took till near the end of the month to die, and really if the victim does not die within the week, they probably shouldn't count, but will mention him anyway. I never did identify the record my friend and I played back then, as he doesn't have any of his old records, and don't know who else may have covered that song.

I've done this. Out of the blue I will think of someone I haven't thought about in a long time, and then I find out they died. It's weird.
You know this is just coincidence, right? You're not killing people by thinking of them. Your brain thinks of people you know; people die. Correlation does not imply causation. Let's continue to live on a logical plane here.
...no ma'am....she stated that if it was someone she "hasn't thought about in a long time"....
Sheesh. My lack of sleep and science brain are gonna get me in trouble.
