Theme from the TV show “The Beverly Hillbillies”.
thefilmarchive.org DVD: www.amazon.com April 10, 1963 After playing golf with Jethro, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Leo Durocher wants to sign him as a pitcher. Wally Cassell (born Oswaldo Castellano, March 3, 1915) is an American character actor. Castellano was born in Agrigento, Sicily, and moved with his family to the United States at the age of two. He began his film career in 1942, frequently appearing in small, uncredited roles. Mickey Rooney is credited with suggesting the change of name to Wally Cassell. His films include Sands of Iwo Jima, Flying Leathernecks, Until They Sail, The Story of GI Joe, and Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. He later appeared in a number of television series such as Rawhide, The Untouchables and The Beverly Hillbillies. He retired from acting in 1964 and later became a successful businessman. Leo Ernest Durocher (in french Léo Ernest Durocher) (July 27, 1905 — October 7, 1991), nicknamed Leo the Lip, was an American infielder and manager in Major League Baseball. Upon his retirement, he ranked fifth all-time among managers with 2009 career victories, second only to John McGraw in National League history. Durocher still ranks tenth in career wins by a manager. A controversial and outspoken character, Durocher’s career was dogged by clashes with authority, umpires (his 95 career ejections as a manager trailed only McGraw when he retired, and still rank fourth on the all-time list), and the press. Durocher was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame …

@VinylNostalgia Yes, that is Lester singing. His voice has more treble in it than Jerry Scoggins, and he has a slightly different accent than Scoggins.
It’s most noticeable when he says “Poor”. Scoggins pronounces it “Pore”, and Flatt more like “poo-er”.”
This isn’t the theme song recording, though. Jerry Scoggins DID do the vocal on that, backed by Flatt & Scruggs.

@narutofan123332 1) It is not a fact that Wikipedia is full of wrong information 2) Wikipedia articles are group-written summaries of collected sources. They are not intended to be used as citation material but rather as a comprehensive overview of a subject with a pool of valuable sources to be checked and cited as needed. This *fact* does not imply that Wikipedia has diminished usefulness or low overall accuracy. There are studies that pit Wikipedia against other encyclopedias. Check them out.

@narutofan123332 I’m so sorry. I first answered a comment from someone and when you said what you did about the internet sometimes being wrong I thought it was the same person who left both answered and I started one of those stupid youtube fights. Whenever I read these things I always roll my eyes and say “Jesus, people get a life” Anyway, no matter who wrote what I I’m really sorry. Please except my apology.

@narutofan123332 I resent your comment. Wikipedia articles are not completely, nor remotely inaccurate and are often written and edited by professionals representing appropriate fields of study. Changes are actively monitored and vandalism is corrected quickly. Sources are required and pointed out when lacking. Say what you like in your petty youtube battle, but do not undermine one of the greatest collaborative knowledge databases of our modern times to support your arguments.

@narutofan123332 Click on Jerry Scoggins, 93; Sang About a Man Named Jed in ‘The Beverly …THAT was written by LA Times. Now click on ‘Beverly Hillbillies’ Singer Dies – CBS News. If your going to correct people on youtube make sure your right so you don’t look like an asshole.
