Bobby Fuller Four
« on: March 07, 2008, 06:26:44 PM »
Anybody remember Bobby Fuller? He is mostly remembered for his hit, "I Fought the Law". I remember watching an episode of "Unsolved Mysteries" that did a feature on his death. I was pretty intrigued by it. It's sad that he died so young (only 23) The good ones always die young.

some hood made him drink a small amount of gasoline,which killed him,back in the day mobsters tried owning musicians contracts,sometimes the star resisted such as johnny ace,in bobbys case it is rumored that a ex boyfriend of his flame did him in.......

I don't see how in the world his death was ruled a suicide.
