Ruttling Orange Peel

Ruttling Orange Peel
  • Contest: 2023 Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- Round 1
  • According to the Mockumentary, “All You Need is Cash”, The Rutles were inspired by Mississippi Blues Man, Ruttling Orange Peel; at least so he says. Of course, since he also claims that Lawrence Welk, Frank Sinatra and the Everly Brothers also ripped him off, perhaps we can only take his claims so far.
  • TV Show/Movie Appeared: All You Need is Cash (1978)
  • Actors: Bob Gibson
  • Songs you may remember: None
  • Why you should vote:: Look who he inspired!
  • Why you should not vote:: This was a small role, and inspiring Lawrence Welk is nothing to be proud of.
