My Father and the Man in Black Quote

Saul Holiff: [A Boy named Sue]We were walking through O'Hare Airport one day, wandering around waiting for a plane, and Shel Silverstein came ambling up. And he had a song. It was crumpled up on a piece of paper, and he handed it to Johnny, and Johnny shoved it down to the bottom of his benny kit. It was A Boy Named Sue. And a few weeks later, he recorded it, without another take. And that single, THAT 45, sold 6 million records! [Original Source: CFPL Radio interview 1976]
