Why is it that I had to spend 20 minutes searching for the author of this amazing song? Doing a search on Yahoo (probably my first mistake) gives a plethora of covers from Josie and the *****cats to The Stooges. Not that there is anything wrong with this song being revived by new bands, and obvious homage to its staying power, but one would think the first name that might pop up would be Johhny O'Keefe's. Looks like even Buddy Holly did a version! Anyway, glad I finally found out. Now I need to get more by this guy, who was obviously a genius to have written a great song like Real Wild Child. Good site, by the way! Thanks!

Yes Mark, the song is great isn't it? A true Rock legend itself!

Sorry it took so ,long to find us, anyway now you did... spread the word!!
