* Main/YouMightRememberMeFrom: Before Fred [=LaBour=] was the bass-playing cowboy Too Slim, he was already recognized as one of the men who popularized the rumor that Music/PaulMcCartney [[Main/ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated had died]]. His biggest contribution was creating the story that Paul had died in a car crash sometime before the recording of ''Music/SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand'' and had been replaced with a man named William Campbell, who looked and sounded like the real Paul.

* Main/SavedFromDevelopmentHell: The Riders have had two albums that were fully (for the most part) recorded but not released until years later:
** ''Horse Opera'' was partially recorded in 1979 but wasn't completed and released until 1990.
** According to their biographical book from 2003, the Riders never thought their fully completed tribute album to Davy Crockett (recorded in the late 90s) would be released to the public. Jump to 2004 and the album is released to tie-in with the 50th anniversary of Disney's Davy Crockett miniseries.
