Thread Name: Lyr Req: Who Killed Davey Moore (Bob Dylan)
Subject: RE: Can you help find a protest song from the 60s
OK, I have some information. Davey Moore was a "featherweight" professional boxer from 1959 - 1963. On March 21, 1963 he was knocked out in the tenth round by "Sugar" Ramos, a cuban boxer. He died March 23, 1963. Davey Moore is the boxer in the song.
