ROAD SHOW

Two for the Tobacco Road - John D Loudermilk's song and his version of it plus the Nashville Teens who made it into a hit.

And two for the show - film shows that is -

Stubby Kaye & Nat King Cole from the film of the same name The Ballad of Cat Ballou and Doris Day with Bonny's father John Raitt from the Pyjama Game There once was a man.

John had a terrific baritone voice but preferred the stage (Broadway) to films. Bay Raitt the creator of the face of Gollum in the Lord of the Rings is his grandson. As an aside I spell pyjama with a Y but it seems the real name of the film is The Pajama Game as the Yanks spell it differently. Listen here.
