"Laurie (Strange Things Happen)" #14 7/10/1965

Here's one from the teen tragedy genre, done by Dickey Lee. It's a variation on the "vanishing hitchhiker" theme, of which the country songs "Phantom 309" or the bluegrass tune "Bringing Mary Home" are examples. Dickey would have success in the country music field in the 70's. He also wrote the hits "She Thinks I Still Care" for George Jones and "Keeper Of The Stars" for Tracy Byrd.
