in reply to 50+ Music • •There seems to be some kind of debate online as to what song was on the B side of that record. AI claims that it's "King of the Wild Frontier" which is the name of the Crockett movie Parker was in. Some vintage record expert was saying that it was "Old Betsy", the name of the gun he was singing about. Then there was this guy on some forum that said it was Pat Brady signing about his Jeep. It just so happens I owned a 1963 Studebaker Lark that I named in honor of Brady's Jeep: Nelliebelle. But Brady was Roy Rogers' sidekick, so I have to wonder about that one.

Here it is, 4 days after my comment was posted about the flip side of Fess Parker's "Ballad of Davy Crockett" and I just now recalled what the flip side of my copy of the single was, and I have to give credit to @Paul Chambers🚧 and his 9 O'Clock #HashtagGames last night, on #MountainSongsOrPoems theme.
Fess Parker sang of a mountain man on the flip side of that Crockett song, and his name was #JohnColter . "The Ballad of John Colter" was on the flip side, and not only that, but TIL Fess Parker wrote it as well as performed it.
"Sing of the bravest mountain man
Sing of the strong and the fleet
Colter's courage was in his heart
And his speed was in his feet".
Wiki was saying that Colter was the first mountain man known as such.
