Thanks for posting the Denny Zager link, JP! It is truly amazing!

Norman Greenbaum's other hit was with his jugband, Dr. West's Medicine Show and Junk Band, the immortal song "The Eggplant that Ate Chicago"--

Now, here is the ultimate folk music "one hit wonder" "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" by a thirteen-year old boy, Laurie London--it topped the charts in 1958, and became, if not the most widely performed "folksong" over the following decades, at least one of two or three--and they are still singing it today in schools and at summer camps--We know what happened to the song, but who was Laurie and what happened to him?
