Billy Joe Royal

Best known for his 1965 hit "Down in the Boondocks", American singer Billy Joe Royal actually had several hot 100 hits in the 60's.  Interestingly he became a big Vegas act in the 70's, also a steady TV and movie actor, and reinvented himself as a country singer in the 80's with a bunch of country hits.  Billy died in 2015. But back in 1969 he went to #15 on the chart with "Cherry Hill Park".  Just a good, solid song, today it's another forgotten oldie,
