About the artist
Unknown - "We Love You Spiro (A Healthy, Normal American Boy From 'Bye Bye Birdie')" (Wizdom Records promo, 1969), a Spiro Agnew-era novelty whose act name puns on Nixon's "silent majority" phrase of November 1969. The artist profile is empty; no personnel are documented - it reads as a one-off studio billing. [Source: Discogs]
