Saturday Morning's Greatest Hits (?): Son of a Gypsy (1978)

If Vincent J. McMahon, who ran Capital/Titan Sports (the parent of the World Wide Wrestling Federation) knew about "Handsome" Jimmy Valiant's other talents, he'd never have let Valiant leave the 3WF in the late 70's.

Valiant, who'd later use a version of "Boy From New York City" as his entrance theme while with the NWA and CWA, recorded "Son of a Gypsy" in 1978, with a video that premiered on the weekly wrestling program on channel 5 in Memphis (or, Mempho, as Jimmy calls it). As you'll see, Valiant grew a long beard after leaving the 3WF, which became his trademark. He also gained a new nickname, the "Boogie Woogie Man", later on.



I wonder if Valiant wrote this himself, or if Jimmy Hart wrote it for him......
