From 1955, Bob Hill and his Canadian Country Boys sing about the Rocket and the events leading up to and during the Richard Riot on March 17th of that year.
It’s called Saga of Rocket Richard, and his 78 rpm record sells for several hundred clams now if one could find it.
But if you click right here you can listen to it for free on the Museum of Canadian Music site. (Just scroll down below the info and you’ll see “tracks.”)
it’s a fine little ditty, and I think it’ll make you smile.
