“On July 18th, 1966, Bobby Fuller was found dead in his car, parked in front of his Hollywood apartment. His body was beaten and a gasoline soaked rag was stuffed in his mouth The Los Angeles Police Dept. called it a suicide. Those who knew the 23 year old singer, knew better,but his death remains the greatest unsolved mystery in all of Hollywood.” Aldus www.classicbands.com.
It’s 1966 and a group out of El Paso, Texas calling themselves The Bobby Fuller Four are enjoying considerable success with their recording of “I Fought The Law”. The song went all the way to number 9 on the national charts. A follow up record “Loves Made A Fool Of You” (a Buddy Holly cover) reached number 26 on the charts. They appeared in this one movie “Ghost And The Invisible Bikini”.

In 1979 werd het nummer gecovered door de Engelse groep The Clash en werd een bescheiden hitje
