Unfortunately, these two novelty numbers, fun though they are, were his most enduring hits. <br />'Rock Island Line' was one of the first records purchased by John Peel and Peel was moved to tears when he finally met Donegan in the 1990s.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522017207239490912.post-72580764255789092092015-02-21T07:45:24.803+00:002015-02-21T07:45:24.803+00:00What a great idea, Mr. S!
