I forgot the song that brought me here. Sea Shell Sherry by Jerry Keller mentions Ricky Nelson and The Orlons.

A 1963 release on the Sparton label of London Ontario entitled "The Black Donnellys".
The 45 featured a folk song recounting the true story of the Irish immigrant family who, in 1880 became the targets of a gang of vigilantes one night near Lucan Ontario and were slaughtered en masse
You can listen to the release on YouTube
I remember hearing it as a kid
