It is 100 years since a simple song was released to the public. A song that unites music legends Elvis Presley, Bing Crosby, Johnny Cash and The Pogues. One song that Elvis loved so much he had it played at his funeral. Yes, it’s the one and only Danny Boy. And it is celebrating its 100th birthday on June 21st, 2013. The song’s melody was first heard in Ireland in the streets of Limavady, County Londonderry where it was known as The Londonderry Air. However it wasn’t until 1910 that Frederick Weatherly, an Englishman, composed the lyrics for this melody. His famous words were published in 1913, making this year the song’s 100th anniversary.

Bobby Wrote this song in 1962 due to his love of horror movies. This Was His Very Last Performance in 2006. Bobby died six months after this live performance of this global classic. Elvis Presley once said it is the dumbest song he has ever heard. Two weeks later it became a global hit in every country. It became the halloween anthem all over the planet, earning bobby millions every year from royalties. Bigger than any Elvis single. RIP Bobby
