Seeing Red
A fun one for my grandson and all young at heart –
Little Red Riding Hood by Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs
- Also known as “Lil’ Red
Riding Hood,” is an updated version of the Little Red Riding Hood
fairy tale, with the lead singer portraying the wolf.- Written by Ronald
Blackwell and produced by Stan Kesler, this was the second big
semi-novelty hit for the Texas band Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs. Their
debut hit “Wooly Bully”
also made it to #2.- On June 5,1966, “Lil’ Red Riding Hood” by Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs entered Billboard’s Hot Top 100 chart at position #99; and on July 31st it peaked at #2 (for 2 weeks) and spent 18 weeks on the Top 100 (and for 7 of those 18 weeks it was on the Top 10). It also reached #2 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart.

Appreciate your remarks Kevin and Mike. There is a guitarist calling himself “Guitar Entertainer Zeus” on board this Viking Venus. He plays his sets acoustically with enhanced vocal effects. Very talented guy – plays whatever you want.
