Hi Folks, this may be an easy one or a hard one; I'm not too sure. About twenty years ago (God, was it really that long ago?) there was a series of programmes shown on British TV featuring George Hamilton IV and guests. One guest (a singer / guitarist) sang a song I think called Kitty Star. I have the words but I can't remember the singer's name. Can anyone help?

The first verse was....

A Texas rodeo you turn a boy to smiling
He's just about to fall in love with Kitty Starr
She's riding like the win with her hair strayed out behind her
In a bright golden dress that shines just like a prairie fire
And I will not forget her if I live to be fourteen
Oh I will hunt her down no matter where she may roam
And I'd even think of marriage, 'cause she's really peachy-king
Oh we will ride the roads and have our own rodeo
I love you more than football Kitty Star

Thanks.

Nynia. That was my friend and fine singer Ron Nigrini. He still plays in Toronto. If you want I'll ask him to drop by Mudcat for a chat with you.

Rick.......Hi that was fast.........I really liked the song does he have it on CD? He sang another song on the same show, I think it might have been called Reflections it starts Letters on the wall mean nothing at all unless they're rearranged with you in mind. I've been singing both off an on for all this time now I can give credit to the writer.....tell him thanks.

Nynia, I'm not sure if he WROTE Kitty Starr. I know he sang it and has it on a CD. Don't know the title. I'll check.

I found on this page (click) that it's on his self-titled album and written by Dennis Linde. A song called "Letters" is on it too.

Blue Penis, you're amazing.

Called him but he's on tour. Even his son didn't know whether he'd recorded it! Oh this younger generation!

Ron recorded Kitty Starr on his album Rich Things as I recall. I have two LPs of his and it is on one of them. Great song. The Good Brothers do it too.
