Trivia
His longtime wife, Linda Dotson, was also his longtime manager.
Awarded "Comedian of the Year" by the Country Music Association in 1968.
Formed his own radio band "The Plainview Melody Boys" at the age of 15.
The running lyric to Sheb's huge novelty song hit went like this: "It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple eater." It spent six weeks at No. 1 and sold 3 million copies in 1958. Other silly songs included "Talk Back Blubbering Lips," "Sunday Morning Fallin' Down," "Harper Valley PTA (Later That Same Day," "The Happiest Squirrel in the Whole U.S.A." and "Fifteen Beers Ago." He also recoreded the parody "Don't Go Near the Eskimos," based on Rex Allen's 1962 hit "Don't Go Near the Indians."
Was one of the four gunslingers who stalked Gary Cooper in the western film classic High Noon (for the record, the others were Ian MacDonald, Robert J. Wilke, Lee Van Cleef).
It is believed that he may be the person who recorded the famous Wilhelm Scream for the movie Distant Drums. He was one of the few actors assembled for the recording of additional vocal elements for the film. It is very likely he was asked on the spot to perform other things for the film, including the screams for a "man getting bit by an alligator" (as the Wilhelm Scream takes were slated).
He got the idea for his hit song, "Purple People Eater", when a friend of his mentioned that his young son came home from elementary school with a joke he had heard: "What has one eye and one horn and flies and eats people?" "A one-eyed, one-horned flying people eater!"
