Daniel Boone (real name: Peter Charles Green) had three chart hits, Beautiful Sunday, Annabelle and Run Tell the People, all co-written with Rod McQueen (real name: David Balfe). (Boone also recorded as Peter Lee Stirling and Lee Stirling.) Boone and McQueen wrote five other Daniel Boone singles. Here is the first of those, Mamma (Did You Really Think We'd Leave You All Alone), released October 29, 1971. The uncredited background singers are the Charles Blackwell Chorus.
