 WOW Report: Recently Dead
Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs get all the credit for "The Ballad of Jed Clampett" because of their pluckin' and pickin', but it was Jerry Scoggins who sang that insanely hummable, Paul Henning-penned Beverly Hillbillies theme.
Scoggins had his own band, the Cass County Boys, in the '30s, sang backup for Gene Autry and Bing Crosby in the '40s and '50s and was working as a stockbroker and part time singer in 1962 when asked to sing the theme for the Buddy Ebsen pilot.
Scoggins reckons he'd sung the song 1,000 times by 1993 when he was hired by director Penelope Spheeris to sing it one more time for the big-screen version of the Hillbillies.
