RIP the three members of The Bobby Fuller Four
Jim Reese (December 7, 1941 - October 26, 1991), aged 49
Bobby Fuller (October 22, 1942 - July 18, 1966), aged 23
Randy Fuller (January 29, 1944 - May 16, 2024), aged 80
You will be remembered as legends
A lot of artists have song this tune over the years, but Bobby Fuller version is the best. It's sad the a few months after cutting this song he died a mysterious death at the age of just 23.
Many good covers. I love The Clash cover of it. Do you?
@@jamesgibson3242 The original version was released by The Crickets in 1960. It was written by Crickets drummer Sony Curtis. Love The Clash Version especially the live video.
Not this version, which appears to be from 1964.
I love Bobby Fuller four
This song would be preserved in the Smithsonian, if I had my way.
Bobby, you genius, you.
Just a shame he didn't write it.
I wish talent still existed like this today. Real musicians playing instruments. Now it's all a bunch of shit.
I feel ya man it's a real shame at least we have memories
True
What are you talking about. There are a millions of real musicians recording today...
Randy can finally ask Bobby what happened.that night. R.I.P to them both.
Fantastic song! Even almost 60 years later, they're tearing it up and rockin' out! Dare anyone to put this tune on in a car on an open road and not thrash the speed limit!
I'd be going at least 60 mph in a 40 mph zone ( Lake Street ) and end up in Rockford with this song on in my car
I got my first speeding ticket while accelerating to this song!
As a retired law enforcement officer - I approve of this great song. Thank you Bobby Fuller Four. I still have my original 45rpm copy
60’s by far best years for music.
Bobby was 22 in 1964. He recorded, directed and produced his El Paso recordings from a home studio he built in his parents house.
Bobby Fuller. I wake in the morning humming that tune makes my day. wish he was still around.
Great great song ! I loved it in the 60's and I still love it now in 2022. It is such a travesty that he was murdered so young. I akways believed that he was murdered.
No he wasn't. He transported an empty can of gasoline, after helping some friends and put it on the front floor of his car, inhaling the fumes, as he drove back home. Sad.
I bet it was an enraged boyfriend or husband.
I heard the Mafia murdered him, because they owned the record company who signed him, I believe it was over money.
@@superbirden57 I believe it was that he was dropping LSD with the girlfriend of some local mob boss.
I firmly believe this is better than the version they released.
agreed!
i love LOVE hearing demos always have, getting a peak at the evolution of a song. i still think Fullers released version of the song has one of Rock N Rolls greatest vocals.
this song is immortal
The Best Versionof this classic...
A great pioneer musician of early Rock N' Roll. This song was fantastic. Bobby Fuller and his Four were already headed for the Rock N' Roll Hall Of Fame. Jealousy, the LA Mafia , the Police and Bob Keene all conspired against him. They wanted their piece of the pie and corruption murdered him. Bastards did him in. Just like what happened to the King Elvis Presley. Promoters, Producers, managers are all bloodsuckers to be cautious of when you have talent. They exploit the real Star and live off their Successes. Evil manipulators.
Actually this is cover of The Cricket's song from 1960.
They should have released it like this. The slight echo on the voices is amazing.
I agree. I like this version more than any I've heard (and I've heard a few). More energy than the recorded studio version. I can understand why Bobby Fuller's voice was the focus on the studio version, but this one is great. Sometimes the demos are the best.
The vocals are so much better on this.
Thanks for these wonderful photos! I remember well when I read in the newspaper about Bobby Fuller's death in 1966; I was a kid and I didn't understand how someone so young could die. He was so cute and so talented, and his death was never really solved.
I read that in the middle of the night he went to meet a girl who was a mafia guy's girlfriend. You know how they say a person is usually killed by the last person they see? dunh Cops threw away a gas can that was crucial evidence; cops were asleep at the switch on this one.
@@ofbyforpeople1384 The story of his death is so interesting, and so sad that we'll never know the truth...
@@kathryndeleonable We pretty much do. But not enough to indict the bastards. He was murdered brutally by the LA mob and it was called a "suicide" by LAPD. God rest Bobby's gentle soul, and may his killers and their enablers rot in the fires of Hell.
@@chuckthesham5195 They will..what goes around, comes around, karma.
Thank you for posting those rare pictures of Bobby Fuller. This is my most favorite song of him, awesome!
Love the photos!!! Superb job, Norton Records. And as has been commented on other Bobby Fuller postings, it's a shame we don't really know what happened to Bobby, other than he died under suspicious circumstances. Super talent with a huge future. Tragic loss.
Brilliant sound, I just love this song
大好きな歌なので聴けてよかったです！ありがとうございます！
Heard this song from a car with loud radio one day and you should have seen the eyes and ears on me as I wound my Harley up through the gears with my thunder header exhaust! Even the cool Statie thought it sounded pissa! NO TICKET! 102mph in a 65 Jeff D. Shirley,Ma.

Amazing how a song can go from "zip gun" to "shotgun," to "six gun."
Stun Gun next.
Michael Lascuola this is the first time I've heard the shotgun version his later cut of it had six gun. The Crickets are the only ones I've heard sing zip gun.
@@michaelelsy2209 Sonny Curtis, who wrote the song and played guitar on the Cricket's original version uses zip gun, so zip gun it is!
I love it!
Bobby got them heaters brother
I can just see the smile on some record executives face when he heard this for the first time.
Never seen some of these still pictures. Thanks.
Beautiful singers them fullers brothers
Bobby was murderd what a shame to lose so good a singer
Must be worth a fortune. Best version I've ever heard. I'm jealous as hell!
Heard this cover of the song being played on the radio of Dale Gribble's car (no joke) as he pulled into the Arlen Gun Club on an episode of King of the Hill I watched the other day... that's what brought me here, I tell you what! ;)
Wow - Divine production quality. Many Thanks 🎉
Great version of a great song.
Wow! The fantastic origin of one of the greatest songs. Ever. I've listened to the final studio release of this song over and over again for more than half a century! There's nothing else like the rock that Fuller did. It almost makes me cry to see these wonderful pictures, but thanks so much for posting them.
Actually, it is a cover of the Crickets' single
@@geetsromo9004 Yes. Sonny Curtis of the Crickets wrote it in 1958, and they recorded it in 1960
...and Sonny Curtis's lyric was "robbing people with a ZIP gun"- a bigger crime in Texas because of a strick law against home- made firearms.
Thanks for the correction re Sonny Curtis. I like Fuller’s way better, but Sonny’s was obviously the inspiration.
♫►"Love's Made a Fool of You" is a song co-written and originally performed by Buddy Holly. It was later re-recorded by Sonny Curtis and the Crickets, with the lead vocal by Earl Sinks, and famously covered by the Bobby Fuller Four.
Buddy Holly first wrote the song in 1954. It was not until 1958 that it was recorded, as an Everly Brothers demo, which was not released until 1964 on the posthumous Showcase LP. The first public release of "Love's Made a Fool of You", however, was by the Crickets, headed by Sonny Curtis in 1959. It was released as a single from In Style with the Crickets, and stayed on the U.K. singles chart for two weeks, peaking at #26. The Crickets' version, without Holly, was accidentally included on the 1972 compilation album Buddy Holly: A Rock and Roll Collection; the same mistake was made on 1997's The Very Best of Buddy Holly. The Bobby Fuller Four released a version of the song in 1966, and it became one of the group's most famous songs. It was another Crickets cover, to follow their smash-hit "I Fought the Law". It broke the Top 30, and was also performed live on Hollywood A Go-Go. This recording features Dalton Powell on drums, taking over from longtime drummer, DeWayne Quirico.

oringinal, simple and clean
Wonderful sound! GREAT photos. Thanks!
Evergreen! I like it! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Crickets, Bobby ,The Clash , Green Day .....the list will go on ....its just a great song .
Bobby Fuller, brilliant
The Crickets were the first to sing this back in 59.
I think the uploader means original recording by Bobby Fuller, since he did a re record in 1966.
Crickets without Buddy Holly
Yes and released in 1960
Written by Sonny Curtis of The Crickets...
@@ryanmanley441 Should be made clear in the title though. To be honest Norton Records should know better.
50 years ago tomorrow.......July 18th. Tragic!
Reminds me of a "Cheers" episode...
God bless the Fullers
The mystery of Bobby Fuller lives on
sounded great!
I Fought the Law est une chanson de Sonny Curtis, qui a remplacé Buddy Holly à son décès enregistrée avec The Crickets en 1959, popularisée par Bobby Fuller en 1965...
the soundtrack our lives... rock n roll yeah
ROCK N ROLL AWESOME
love
Who are the kids in the video? Thank you!
Tim, the kids in the video are his fans most likely.Bobby really liked to hang out with his many fans!
He did a really great cover of Miserlou. He really could play guitar.
Amen to that!
KELP with Steve Crosno DJ. That was my station I went to the dentist in Scottsdale near where Bobby lived.
(titre original de Sonny Curtis, enregistré avec The Crickets en 1959, popularisé par Bobby Fuller en 1965, puis par The Clash en 1979.)
I Fought The Law
(J'ai Combattu La Loi)
Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
Cassant des rocher sous un soleil chaud
I fought the law and the law won (x2)
Je me suis battu contre la loi et la loi a gagné
I needed money ‘cause I had none
J'avais besoin d'argent car je n'en avais pas
I fought the law and the law won (x2)
Je me suis battu contre la loi et la loi a gagné
I left my baby and it feels so bad
J'ai quitté ma copine et cela semble si mauvais
Guess my race is run
Suppose que ma course soit faite
She's the best girl that I ever had
Elle est la meilleur fille que j'ai jamais eu
I fought the law and the law won
Je me suis battu contre la loi et la loi a gagné
I fought the law and the
Je me suis battu contre la loi et
Robbin' people with a six-gun
Braqué des gens avec un six coups (sorte de pistolet)
I fought the law and the law won (x2)
Je me suis battu contre la loi et la loi a gagné
I lost my girl and I lost my fun
J'ai perdu ma fille et j'ai perdu mon amusement, ma joie
I fought the law and the law won (x2)
Je me suis battu contre la loi et la loi a gagné
I left my baby and it feels so bad
J'ai quitté ma copine et il se sent mal
Guess my race is run
Suppose que ma course soit faite
She's the best girl that I ever had
Elle est la meilleur fille que j'ai jamais eu
I fought the law and the law won
Je me suis battu contre la loi et la loi a gagné
I fought the law and the
Je me suis battu contre la loi et
I fought the law and the law won (x7)
Je me suis battu contre la loi et la loi a gagné x7
I fought the law and the
Je me suis battu contre la loi et
I believe this is the take that features Billy Webb on rhythym guitar and Larry Thompson on drums. If I recall correctly.
At this late date I doubt that we will never know why Bobby was murdered. I suspect he stepped on somebody's toes....somebody with juice and a bad temper.
Robbing people with a "shotgun??" Much better in the original Crickets/BFF/Clash versions with a "6 gun" with the drummer pounding out the six shots...IMO. Pretty cool hearing the little nuances that are different from the later release. Looked like Bobby had a few female fans in the accompanying video. With his talent and charisma he would have been a HUGE star.
It's zip gun. At least in the crickets version.
+kyle anderson I like zip gun. I thought there was a version from Bobby Fuller with zip gun. Also want to find the "I miss my baby and a good fuck" version.
Zip gun is correct. That was the way Sonny Curtis wrote it.@@kyleanderson4160
Good rock and roll knows no bounds of time. Goddamn the LA mob and the LAPD. They murdered him and covered it up. May God rest his soul.
This is the version with the legendary Jerry Miller (later of Moby Grape) on guitar.
GOOD AND RAW !!!
Shakedown! Texas Tapes
this is music not the crap today that pass for music wonderful 60s music
buena rola de aquellos tiempos, lastima ya no regresan
This is good. I always liked this song. Shot gun! Why not?
Wonderful to hear this version! Glad to have Dangerous Minds on my Facebook.
Iv'e loved this song ever since I first heard it in the early 60's.
I always thought that it was an EVERLY BROTHERS number.
I stand corrected!
Many have covered it.
None can match the original.
Bobby Fuller Four!
Yeah!
It's so cool to hear the alt. "SHOT GUN" version.
Hey.
And even better :
"ZIP GUN"!
Ha!!
Phill Wallace the original version is by the Crickets without Buddy Holly written by Sonny Curtis.
This is great!
920 KELP was the hot AM radio station in El Paso. Bobby Fuller was murdered because he wanted to leave Del-Fi Records. Larry Nunes had invested a lot of money on him including paying a L.A. radio station a lot of money to play this song.
After listening to this demo, I can say, as someone has already done, that the lyrics are slightly different to the ones in the 1966 version. As far as my ear has managed to catch, this could be this demo's lyrics. Hope somebody can tell me if it's OK.
I FOUGHT THE LAW
I'm breaking rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won.
I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won.
I left my baby and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run
Oh, she's the best girl I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won.
I'm robbing people with a shotgun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won.
I miss my baby and the good fun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won.
I left my baby and I feel so bad
I guess my race is run
Oh, she's the best girl I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won.
Thank you for the lyrics. Loved the rhythm of the song and now, even more. Because of knowing the lyrics. Good lyrics as well.
The original lyrics are zip gun and thanks for the lyrics for this version.
Better than the hit version (Which is a copy of the Crickets' original, nearly note for note)
Hi Guys, Great song - cool video. LUVV the pics. First time I've heard this demo - it's great! IFTL is one of THE great songs from the 60's. Thanks, Oldies Guy aka Tom K.
nice bass, cool guitar solo
lead vocal overdubs were too thick; glad they dialed them down in the final studio recording
Two words: THE CLASH!!!!
The Clash version is very average, nothing there.
KELP radio El Paso Tx
Not a demo, an actual original Exeter single, right?
Which served as a demo of sorts when he got to California.
Great Guitar skill would of been IMHO A unique Slidestrum solo in the mid with the legend of Strat blissfully displaying that =)
Could you please restate that in plain English?
this is a little different,thanks for sharing.
vojne, vojne! Stygg pojke!
Timing-wise, this would have to be the one Jerry Miller played the lead on, wouldn't it?
JOYITA!
+Claudia Arteaga Y la versión pulida es fantástica .... mi versión favorita!
ruclips.net/video/OgtQj8O92eI/видео.html
IS IT JUST ME OR DOES THIS DEMO HAVE MORE OF A TODAYS SOUND TO IT IN SOME WAYS ?
The drums are louder and more compressed than Tex Mex of the 50's.
i was in school then
I read where Jerry Miller (Moby Grape) played guitar for their early version, could this be it?
best song in mafia 3
Original by thé crickets !
Dangerous Minds brought me here
Is this one of the versions that Jerry Miller (Moby Grape) played on?
I've heard that it was either Billy Webb or Jerry Miller. But it was one of the two.
I think so. Met Jerry Miller a couple of years ago, unreal player.
Time to moving , WESTCHESTER COUNTY NEW YORK ,,,,🌺🇺🇸❤️♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Is this the only variant that had him using a shotgun?
Yes. With Bobby, you ahve the option of a Shot gun, a six gun, and a zip gun!
@@nortonrecords7533 Excellent! Do you know of any other variants? I thought I remembered one where at 0:52, the emphasis wasn't on holding the word girl but instead broke ever down slower (ev-er-had with each being a beat). Does this sound familiar?
Bad ass
😭❤️👍👍
This demo was it recorded in 1964 at El Paso Texas???
Twas!
Gitarre und Gesang
Sound Einmalig
Luvs me some Miriam.
got thrown in jail freshman year in college. got out and dorm-mates sang " mike fought the law and the law won..."
The crikets 1959
The initial news report claimed he died as a result of sniffing gasoline fumes.
He was murdered
NOT the original! The original was by the Crickets, after Buddy's death in 59
It was the original demo by Bobby Fuller before his released studio recording. TRY SOME READING COMPREHENSION !!!
@@skips1965 GFY
shotgun in the demo instead of six gun
