Harold Kenneth Dorman (December 23, 1926 – October 8, 1988)[1] was an American rock and roll singer and songwriter.
[1] He wrote a song called "Mountain of Love", which he released as a single in 1960 on the Rita record label.
[2][3] Though it was Dorman's only hit record, it proved to be a popular song for covers; Charley Pride, Johnny Rivers, and Ronnie Dove all hit the U.S. chart with the song, and it was also recorded by Bruce Springsteen, The Beach Boys, Tommy Cash, and Narvel Felts.
He also wrote three songs for country music and blues singer pianist Moon Mullican in the early 1960s.
Dorman died in October 1988 while traveling in McKinney, Texas, at the age of 61.
