Country singer and songwriter Bobby Bare was born on this day in 1935. "Marie Laveau" was written by Shel Silverstein and Baxter Taylor and originally done by Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show on their 1971 album Doctor Hook. Bobby’s 1974 live cover reached #1 on the US and Canadian Country charts. The video was done by CC Productions.
p.s. Had no idea Shel wrote music as well as children’s books!

He’s written quite a few songs. Dr Hook and The Medicine Show did a few of them (“Sylvia’s Mother,” “Cover of the Rolling Stone”), he wrote “A Boy Named Sue” for Johnny Cash, he even wrote “The Unicorn.” Check out this section of his Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shel_Silverstein#Songs
