RUNNING BEAR...Johnny Preston, 1959, M&L by J.P.Richardson...MONSTER HIT, both pop & country charts!

Sonny James had another BIG hit version in 1969 ! This mighta been Sonny's 2nd biggest hit after "Young Love". Perhaps Noreply 66 can help with this, as I'm posting from memory, which sometimes fails me.
