Act Naturally

From Bob Dearborn's The Olde Disc Jockey's Almanac, this little tidbit from fifty years ago today...

February 12, 1963…At the Capitol Tower studios in Hollywood, Buck Owens recorded "Act Naturally."

Fellow Capitol Records stars The Beatles later recorded the song too, featuring Ringo Starr on vocals. But here's the original. It's a good thing Buck and I were never invited to the same dinner party. It would have been embarassing to show up wearing the same spangly yellow suit.
