e/The Delegates

Information
has gloss	eng: The Delegates were a novelty song group who scored a hit in the United States in 1972. The "band" was actually Bob DeCarlo, the morning disc jockey at KQV in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Bob was approached by Nick Cenci and Nick Kousaleous, local Pittsburgh record moguls, to make a novelty record. Bob and the two record men assembled "Convention 72", which consisted of Bob imitating several popular television reporters of the day, including Walter Cronkite ("Walter Klondike"), Chet Huntley ("Sidney Buntley"), and Harry Reasoner ("Larry Reasoning") asking questions of current politicians involved in that years presidential election (such as Thomas Eagleton, Sargent Shriver, Spiro Agnew, Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger) at a joint national convention of Republicans and Democrats, with the responses given as lines from popular songs of the day (in a manner analogous to that made famous by Dickie Goodman).
