"Mr. Custer" #1 10/15/1960

No way this could be released today. Here's a novelty one-hit wonder from October 1960 by Larry Verne that might just be the most politically incorrect song of early rock and roll. How else could you explain a comedy record about what took place at the Little Big Horn? It was co-written by Al De Lory, who produced fellow Wrecking Crew member Glen Campbell's first string of hits later in the 60's. Larry Verne went on to become a successful film set builder in Hollywood.
