Gentlemen, uncover. A great man passes on.

Sadly, it’s true.

Sheb Wooley died yesterday at age 82.

Sheb was a distant cousin of mine. I never met him but it was always cool to know he was out there somewhere.

So raise a glass tonight to a man who carved his own career and recorded one of the best novelty records of the 20th century.

The Purple People Eater will always live in my heart.

This post has been . . . well, you know.

I knew he looked familiar and it’s from Rawhide. His list of credits continued to be darn impressive. Plus, anyone named “Sheb” has got to have their shit wired tight.

Somehow, your OP made me think it was John Holmes…
