Forgotten 45s

While on the subject of novelty songs, Jim Stafford is a singer-songwriter who turns 66 today.  His best known hit is Spiders & Snakes which spent 3 weeks at #3 during early 1974. Jim was once married to country star Bobbie Gentry and was also a popular TV celebrity during the 70s, hosting the show Those Amazing Animals as well as his own TV specials.

The backing musicians on Spiders & Snakes, as well as the self-titled Jim Stafford album, have a distinctive sound that may sound a bit familiar -  Richard Bennett, Alan Lindgren, Emory Gordy and Dennis St. John are or were members of the Neil Diamond Band.

Jim currently performs at the Jim Stafford Theatre in Branson Missouri.
