If he chooses to accept it. This recording will self-destruct in 5 seconds.

Yes a big man. Fess Parker dead at 85.

Daniel Boone, as you'll see from the show lyrics, was like a pioneer-era Chuck Norris.

Daniel Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
With an eye like an eagle
And as tall as a mountain was he!

Daniel Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
He was brave, he was fearless
And as tough as a mighty oak tree!

From the coonskin cap on the top of ol' Dan
To the heel of his rawhide shoe;
The rippin'est, roarin'est, fightin'est man
The frontier ever knew!

Daniel Boone was a man,
Yes, a big man!
And he fought for America
To make all Americans free!

What a Boone! What a doer!
What a dream come-er-true-er was he!

Daniel Boone was a man!
Yes, a big man!
With a whoop and a holler
he c'd mow down a forest of trees!

Daniel Boone was a man!
Yes, a big man!
If he frowned at a river
In July all the water would freeze!

But a peaceable, pioneer fella was Dan
When he smiled all the ice would thaw!
The singin'est, laughin'est, happiest man
The frontier ever saw!

Daniel Boone was a man!
Yes, a big man!
With a dream of a country that'd
Always forever be free!

What a Boone! What a do-er!
What a dream-come-er-true-er was he!

Only 85? I figured he'd must be much older than that by now.

Shawnee123 · 03-18-2010, 03:29 PM

Yeah, and he was 40 when he started doing Daniel Boone! (that doesn't sound right)

Nirvana · 03-18-2010, 06:00 PM

We're gonna miss you Dan'l!

classicman · 03-18-2010, 07:24 PM

Date of Birth: August 16, 1924 - I'm shocked I thought he was much older

It's one of those things, where one rather unknown artist wound up influencing an entire generation of other artists. He took the Beatles and the Bryds, especially Roger McGuinn's jangly guitar, to the next logical step. It's a long list of acts that never would have existed without Mr Chilton, including REM, the Bangles, Television, Cheap Trick... and thus a whole nother generation of guitar pop.

You know the theme for That 70s Show? That was Chilton's band's debut single.

Sad to hear about Robert Kulp. Seems like most of the actors from shows i watched when i was a kid are dead.

Greatest American Hero? Why could they never figure out how that suit worked?
