This day in music - August 2, 1987: David Martin dies at the age of 50
By Richard K. Barry
Okay, I didn't know who David Martin was either, but he was the bass player for Sam the Sham & The Pharaohs and he wrote the band's hit single "Wooly Bully," which was a hit in 1965, rising to #2 in the U.S. and #11 in the U.K.
Dig those crazy outfits. Here's to Mr. Martin, who wrote a great song.
