6. Cowboy Actor, Singer Sheb Wooley Dies
Cowboy actor and singer Sheb Wooley, who recorded one of the most successful novelty songs ever with The Purple People Eater, has died.

His wife says Wooley died Tuesday at a Nashville hospital following a long battle with leukemia. He was 82.

Wooley appeared in more than 30 films between 1950 and 1988, primarily in westerns. He also starred on the popular 1960's TV western Rawhide.
