We are going to have a little fun with Beyond the Fort this week as we look at some of the great pretenders around college football. And what better way to do that than with the song “The Great Pretender”, written by Buck Ram and originally performed by The Platters in the 50’s. Yes, I am channeling my inner Grant McGalliard, basing this week’s around college football column on song.
Let’s dive in, shall we?
The song was originally performed by The Platters, but came back to life in the 80’s thanks to a brilliant version sung by Freddie Mercury.
