Clarence Frogman Henry
(专辑: Indian Summer - 1981)
Tell you a
story about, uh, old black singer called Clarence Frogman Henry. I
wonder who remembers him, anybody at all? "I don't know why I
love you but I
do," is what he sang, He sang it very well indeed, it was great. I, I
like frogs in general and Clarence Frogman Henry is, is, is part of that And, uh, one, one day Clarence was appearing somewhere, I
think it was, uh, Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee. It was a
long time ago about twenty years back. He was appearing at a
club and his double Was walking down the
street attracting a
lot of attention, Because his double, I
mean, a
lot of people knew Clarence Frogman Henry in Memphis. And his double was walking down the
street, And his double was in love with Audrey Hepburn, And by the
sheerest coincidence, which I'm sure you won't believe, but it's true Audrey Hepburn's double was walking down the
other side of the
street And, uh, they reached a
point opposite each other And it suddenly kind of flashed to both of them That like, this was their lifelong love, Because Audrey Hepburn's double was a
Clarence Frogman Henry fan So what happened was that they ran into the
center of this very wide road in Memphis And as they were clasping each other two things happened simultaneously One was that they both realized to their horror that it was neither of them And the
second was that they got run down by a, by a
gold Cadillac Driven by a
man in an Elvis Presley mask Now, the
man in the
Elvis Presley mask was actually G. Gordon Liddy This was early on in his career.
