    Claude King (1923-2013) was an American country music singer and songwriter, best known for his 1962 song “Wolverton Mountain”, a million selling hit based on a real person that lived on Wolverton Mountain north of Morrilton, Arkansas. In 1981, Arkansas Governor Frank D. White paid tribute to King by declaring August 7 “Wolverton Mountain Day”.
