"Wolverton Mountain" was a hit that established Claude King's career as an American countrysinger/songwriter in 1962. The song was a rewrite of the original version by Merle Kilgore, which was based on a real character named Clifton Clowers who lived on the mountain (the mountain's actual name being spelled Woolverton.[1]), north of Morrilton, Arkansas. The song spent nine weeks at the top of the Billboardcountry chart in the US in 1962.[2] It was also a giant crossover hit, reaching number six on the pop chart[3] and numberTHREE on the easy listening chart.
