Bobby Fuller
Bobby Fuller is best known for two things: the hit single “I Fought the Law” and the bizarre way in which he met his demise. In 1966 “The Bobby Fuller Four” reached the top ten with “I Fought the Law” (written by Sonny Curtis,lead guitarist for “Buddy Holly and the Crickets”). In July of 1966 at the age of 22, he was found dead in his car outside a Los Angeles apartment complex. His body had been doused with gasoline and an autopsy revealed gasoline in his lungs. To this day his death is surrounded by mystery. The coroner ruled it a suicide, some sources say auto accident, while friends maintain he was murdered by organized crime.
