LONG LIVE FRANKIE AVALON!
I'm 13 years and i absolutely love this song! I'm gonna sing this at my school concert
Davy Crockett's autobiography mentions a bee hunter with a remarkable singing voice who went with him into the Alamo. I could imagine Frankie Avalon fullfilling that role in this movie. Who knows if the bee hunter really existed? Maybe he was just a figment of the writer of that autobiography. It probably was not Crockett. One story I came across says the bee hunter was seriously wounded in a foray outside the Alamo several days before the final assault. Who can know?

@acblueeagle The texan Actor Chill Wills did play the character of a Tennessian called "Beekeeper" in Duke's The Alamo. Frankie Avalons "Smitty" was a fiction, especialy a Cast for Teenagers Taste. At this time Avalon was very popular as a singer, like Ricky Nelson and Fabian, both in another Duke Westerns too (Rio Bravo, North to Alaska).
