Shelby F. "Sheb" Wooley (April 10, 1921 -- September 16, 2003) was a character actor and singer, best known for his 1958 novelty hit "Purple People Eater". Shelby F. "Sheb" Wooley was diagnosed with leukemia, and died at the Skyline Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee in 2003. "The Purple People Eater" was a novelty song, written and performed by Sheb Wooley (1921-2003), that reached #1 in the Billboard pop charts in 1958. The song has remained popular for over forty years, and sold over one hundred million copies. "Purple People Eater" is a bouncy, happy song whose style is very much of its time and genre, reflecting both the simple early rock and roll that was hugely popular and the public fascination with flying saucers and aliens. The song's genesis was in a contemporary fad for riddles with obvious answers. (What's red and green and eats rocks? A red and green rock eater. What has one eye, one horn, flies and eats people?) The song tells how a strange monster (described as a "one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater" -- writer Sheb Wooley added the color for rhythmic reasons) descends to earth because it wants to be in a rock 'n' roll band.
