Remembering Minnesota’s very own Larry Verne, who #DOTD in 2013. In 1960, Verne earned US US #OneHitWonder honors when his satirical, comedic novelty “Mr. Custer” spent 10 weeks on the US #Billboard #Top40, including one week at the #1 spot! #LarryVerne #MrCuster #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

“Mr. Custer” by Larry Verne spent the week of October 10, 1960, at #1 on the US #Billboard #Top40… The following week, there was a new #1. #LarryVerne #MrCuster #TheDrifters #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

After his brief run, Larry Verne walked away from the music biz and spent 35 years building Hollywood film sets. From a #1 US #Billboard #Top40 hit to happily hammering on two-by-fours in Tinseltown. #LarryVerne #MrCuster #OneHitWondered
