Even the most devoted music aficionado
could be forgiven for believing Bob
Lind was a one-hit wonder. The once-
reclusive folk singer enjoyed a brief
stint at the top of the charts in 1966,
courtesy of the hit "Elusive
Butterfly." Lind sang of love and
longing, and like Dylan and Donovan,
set hearts a-fluttering in the process.
And the song drew a following of its
own; it was covered by more than 200
artists, including Cher, Aretha
Franklin, Johnny Mathis, Dolly Parton
and Petula Clark.
Sadly, Lind found it difficult to
maintain the momentum "Elusive
Butterfly" brought. Subsequent efforts
failed to find an audience. Lind
struggled with drugs, alcohol and a
less-than-stellar professional
reputation before he recorded a final
album for Capitol Records, 1971's
"Since There Were Circles." Although
the effort pleased the critics, sales
failed to follow.
Lind parted ways with the music
business and initiated a career that
found him writing novels, plays and
screenplays. He relocated to Boca
Raton, Florida, at the tail end of the
1980s, wrote a series of novels and
penned a screenplay for a film called
"Refuge," which won the Florida
Screenwriters' Competition in 1991. (He
also had the dubious distinction of
serving eight years as a staff writer
for the Weekly World News.)
