Stars |

Shreveport,
LA— Louisiana Hayride Legend, songwriter
and musician Claude King will be inducted into the Greater
Shreveport Chamber of Commerce Walk of Stars on Sunday,
February 11th in conjunction with the Louisiana Tribute
Jamboree that opens at 2 p.m. at the Municipal Auditorium
on Elvis Presley Ave. King, a lifelong resident
of northwest Louisiana, is best known for his recording
of the song “Wolverton Mountain” written
by Walk of Stars Honoree Merle Kilgore. “Wolverton
Mountain” topped the music charts in 1962 and stayed
there for 9 weeks. King was managed by Tillman
Franks, past recipient of the Walk of Stars, during that
time period and became very much in demand as a performer,
which led him to venues including the Grand Ole Opry
and Dick Clark’s American Bandstand.
