Lorne Greene
He was very popular on television in America.
For years, he played Ben Cartwright on “Bonanza”.
Being patriarch of a piece of land in Nevada,
he and his three sons lived on the “Ponderosa”.
Did you know he originally hailed from Canada?
One day, he stepped into a recording studio.
The product of this endeavor was a song called “Ringo”
High on Billboard’s charts this record would go.
Mr. Greene was a very popular actor in his day.
Sadly, in 1987, he passed away.
Thanks to the Internet Movie Database for information I obtained.
