The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde by Georgie Fame was a UK number 1 hit on Wednesday, January 24, 1968 spending 1 week(s) at the top of the UK charts. The song is about the real-life Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, a famous bank-robbing couple in the Great Depression era of the United States. Despite the boy-meets-girl cuteness of a crime-spree couple, their outlaw exploits are not to be dismissed lightly; they led a gang, robbed about a dozen banks, knocked off many small stores, killed nine police officers, and also shot a few civilians. They went down in a hail of bullets in an ambush by Texas and Louisiana police in 1934. The story still captures the imagination of audiences today.
