Distant Drums" is a song which provided US singer Jim Reeves with his only UK No. 1 hit – albeit posthumously – in the United Kingdom in 1966, some two years after his death in a plane crash on 31 July 1964. The song remained in the UK Singles Chart for 45 weeks. The single also topped the US country chart for four weeks, becoming his most successful posthumous single. Although Roy Orbison had recorded the song in 1963, it is Reeves' version of "Distant Drums" which has endured over the years.
Distant Drums is a 1951 American "Florida Western" film directed by Raoul Walsh and starring Gary Cooper. It is set during the Second Seminole War in the 1840s, with Cooper playing an Army captain who destroys a fort held by the Spanish gunrunners then retreats into the Everglades while under chase. The actual location of the fort in the film was the historic Castillo de San Marcos in St. Augustine, Florida, where most of the filming took place.
gr Active from 1980 until 1983 in the new wave, post-punk scene of Colchester (eg. Modern English), they had given numerous concerts at the time (playing along with Troops For Tomorrow, supporting The Passage etc). Their sole release was the nowadays extra-rare 'Perfect Eyes, Halloween' 7" single, which is currently traded among collectors for pretty high prices in the second-hand vinyl market.
