Notes:
Also known as “John Wayne – Mein Freund” (John Wayne – My Friend), was recorded in 1979 by Arnold Marquis – “The German Voice of John Wayne.” The song was written by Billy Joe Burnette and Dale Royal. Marquis received this sobriquet due to his dubbing of so many John Wayne films into German. With his rich voice, he was the perfect choice to dub Wayne’s voice. The single is available, but difficult to find. If you would like to hear it (and it is in German), there is a video tribute to John Wayne on YouTube which uses this single.
