Description
RARE 45 AND SIGNATURE OF LOUISVILLE COUNTRY SINGER KNOWN BEST FOR "CARDINAL CANNONBALL" WHICH HE WROTE IN 1983 FOR THE LOUSVILLE MEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM.
Snake River SR 2001, produced in 1986. Side B is, Let It Be Me Tonight. I can't find this 45 online, and can find only a few records produced by this Louisville singer and songwriter online. IT IS NICELY INSCRIBED TO DAVID & JUDY. It was found in a plain white inner sleeve and LOOKS GREAT, with no scratches seen over clean vinyl, I'll grade NM.
He passed in 2018 after over 50 years in the business. Parts of an obituary found online:
"...Clark was well known to University of Louisville men's basketball fans for his song "Cardinal Cannonball," which debuted in 1983 and was later revamped after the team's 1986 national championship.
But to musicians and fans nationwide, Clark was better known as a songwriter's songwriter. He famously caught Bob Dylan's ear at a 1974 club gig, after which Dylan told Rolling Stone magazine that he wanted to sign Clark and his then-partner Mickey White to a record label he was starting.
Over the years, Clark worked with the likes of John Prine, Townes Van Zandt, Jerry Jeff Walker and many more. Prine, Walker, Kinky Friedman and Sam Bush all guest-starred on Clark's 2009 album, "Winding Highways."
Clark's musical journey began in 1962 when he formed the Village Singers with fellow Purdue University students Larry Foster and Ethan Kenning. The folk revival was in full bloom and they were regulars on a circuit that included Chicago and New York...
... Clark spent much of his career in Nashville, where he concentrated on writing. He had songs recorded by everyone from The Oak Ridge Boys to Jerry Lee Lewis."
