That's a big claim and yet only this one song by Rankin can I find. Surely there must be more? Is there anyone on here who can add anything to our knowledge of this man? |

15 Aug 14 - 03:41 AM (#3651134) Subject: RE: Info req: Dave Rankin From: Dennis the Elder There was a David Rankin in the Rankin Family in Canada, however this certainly is not in the South and also to young. A David Rankin also has a CD "Threads in the Fabric" available on cdbaby Music Store, this is obviously the wrong Dave Rankin as he was born in Southern Ohio in 1952 a little young to write a song recorded in 1962. I will continue my research |
