Artist Bio:
Larry Verne was an American singer and songwriter who gained fame in the early 1960s. He is best known for his novelty song "Mr. Custer," which was released in 1960 and reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song humorously recounts the story of General Custer's last stand at the Battle of the Little Bighorn from the perspective of a soldier who does not want to participate in the battle.
Despite the success of "Mr. Custer," Larry Verne did not achieve the same level of commercial success with his subsequent releases. He continued to record music throughout the 1960s but eventually faded into obscurity. Larry Verne's legacy primarily rests on his one-hit wonder status with "Mr. Custer," which remains a popular novelty song from the early 1960s.
