Wikipedia, Says, Jerry Lordon & Davie Allan wrote this in 1965 & That Sonny James sang a Local version ! in 1961. It does not say He wrote it. !! I like it , 1st time I have heard it. in words. ~ Arthur

[Maureen712]

@arinvests Apache was written by Jerry Lordan. Lordan had given the song to Bert Weedon to record but he didn't like Weedon's version. Jerry liked a British group named The Shadows so he played the song for them. The Shadows recorded it and their version was a hit. It used to be difficult for British performers to get air time in the U.S. so when a song was a hit in Britain, it was re-recorded by an American and released in the U.S. Apache was covered by the Ventures, the Safari's and others.

[Maureen712]

Then along came Sonny James, the American semi-country singer who had a big hit with "Young Love". Liking the song and hoping to capitalize on its popularity, he penned his own lyrics to it and released a vocal version with a different sort of appeal. (This info. comes from Uncle Phaedrus (Consulting Detective and Finder of Lost Recipes) on the internet. Sonny James' version has been well received at YouTube. I hope he knows how popular his version is!

@arinvests The remainder of my comment re: Sonny James is above your comment. There were too many

words to fit in one comment.

Sonny James wrote the lyrics to this instrumental. I heard him talk about it in an interview he did years ago.

[Maureen712]

@mrshorty62 Thank you for that information. I was surprised to learn that Sonny James wrote the lyrics. I'm sure many others will be, too. :D

<3 Maureen

[pappy15445]

@Maureen712 so am I --though with his boatload of talent why that should surprise me about Mr. Sonny James Lodin ,I am not really sure.Simply a masterful performance here by a true master .

[Maureen712]

@pappy15445 Thank you very much, Pappy! I'm happy you enjoyed my video and know a singer who has mastered the art of singing when you hear one! :D

<3 Maureen

[bootsnspurs33]

I like it, BUT,---- NO ONE does it or did it like Ingmar Jorgenson, i've got the old 45 & on a cd of apache and other instrumentals. i saw ingmar perform once on tv when i was a kid, if you really like this song try finding his verson -- it'll blow you away!!!
