DOMINGO SAMUDIO
Domingo Samudio (born 6 March 1937, Dallas, Texas), better known by his stage name Sam the Sham, is a retired American rock and roll singer. Sam the Sham was known for his camp robe and turban and hauling his equipment in a 1952 Packard hearse with maroon velvet curtains. As the front man for the Pharaohs, he sang on several Top 40 hits in the mid-1960’s, notably “Wooly Bully” and “Li’l Red Riding Hood”. (More from Wikipedia)46
Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs had a big hit in 1965 with “Wooly Bully”. The song is about lead singer Domingo Samudio’s cat; I was 14 when the song came out, and there was a rumor among the kids I hung out with that a “wooly bully” was a vagina.
