Dallas Frazier, "Mr. Elvira"-- Part 3

Dallas Frazier's following "Tell It Like It Is" also did well.  His songs have been sung often, even
George Jones recorded a whole album of Dallas Frazier songs.

Some of the artists who have sung his songs:  Diana Ross, Engelbert Humperdink, Jerry Lee Lewis, Jack Greene, Connie Smith (who in 1972 also recorded a whole album of his music), Brenda Lee, Charley pride, Merle Haggard, Elvis Presley and Moe Bandy.

Dallas Frazier charted eight times on country charts and he was inducted into the Nashville Songwriter Hall of Fame in 1976.  Of course, the Oak Ridge Boys had a huge hit with "Elvira.'

In 1972, he released his "North Carolina," that song I enjoyed so much at the Silver Dollar Saloon at Carolina Beach as well as his "Elvira."  We played those two over and over again.  I'm sure the folks there were more than a bit tired of it.
