Willie John Ellison Celebrates Four Million Performances of “Some Kind of Wonderful”
BMI recently presented a Million-Air certificate recognizing more than four million performances of “Some Kind of Wonderful” to the song’s writer, Willie John Ellison. The smash was originally recorded by the Soul Brothers Six in 1967, and was later covered by others including Grand Funk Railroad and Huey Lewis and the News. Ellison also received his BMI Million-Air Award for the song’s three-million performance milestone.
