Singer-songwriter who is perhaps best known for his 1963
cover of Henry Strezlecki's "Long
Tall Texan", later recorded by The Beach Boys, and the 1964 novelty
hit "I Dreamed I Was A Beatle". He also fronted several bands,
including The Dawnbreakers, The Ramblers, and The
Rythum Four.
Although major and consistent success eluded him, Murray Kellum continued to write songs, including the royalty
gold mine "If You're Gonna Play in Texas (You've Gotta
Have a Fiddle in the Band)" (with Dan Mitchell) which was a hit for
country super-group Alabama.
