Thread Name: Lyr Req: Who Killed Davey Moore (Bob Dylan)
Subject: RE: Can you help find a protest song from the 60s
Hi Pete & Roger, yup, you're right Roger, just came back from the same sites. I think that I had the Emile Griffith fight where he killed Benny Kid Paret in I think early 62. Davey "The Springfield Rifle" Moore the favored 5-1, died from injuries from Sugar (a very popular fight nickname) Ray Ramos, who left Cuba because Castro had outlawed boxing (wonder what led to that discussion). This song was part of his underground tapes, he did a nice version of 500 miles on it & some others that I can no longer recall. My the recording has long since been among the list of missing. Barry
