"Indian Giver" is a song written by Bobby Bloom, Ritchie Cordell, and Bo Gentry. It was first recorded by 1910 Fruitgum Company for their 1969 album, Indian Giver. [3] Its B-Side, "Pow Wow", was actually a song called "Bring Back Howdy Doody" deliberately pressed backwards as a way of deterring radio stations from playing the B-Side, [4] which was later recorded by another Buddah bubblegum music group produced by Jerry Kasenetz and Jeffry Katz called Flying Giraffe. [5]
The song went to #5 on The Billboard Hot 100 in 1969 and was on the charts for 13 weeks. [6] The song also went to #1 in Canada and in South Africa, [7] and #4 in Australia. It was named the #50 song of 1969 on the Cashbox charts. The song was certified as a gold disc in March 1969. [8]
Ritchie Cordell joined Super K Productions, the big bubblegum production house of the late '60s and early '70s. Cordell co-wrote hits like Crazy Elephant's "Gimme Gimme Good Lovin'" and 1910 Fruitgum Company's "Indian Giver"...
