Object Details

Four years into his House service, Congressman Richard Fulton launched his musical career with this recording of “Poor Little Paper Boy.” Despite what his wife called “a bathtub baritone,” Fulton debuted his voice for broadcast television at the Grand Ole Opry in his hometown of Nashville, wearing a grey flannel business suit instead of the traditional finery of country music. He said it was more frightening than giving his first speech in the House.
