I had no idea until I looked it up that Johnny Russell had written "Act Naturally." He had to do something with music one day and cancelled a date. He jokingly told his girlfriend they were going to put him in the movies and make a big star out of him. He decided to make the lines into a song. He couldn't get anyone interested in it. Then, of course, Buck Owens made it into a big hit and some lads from Liverpool recorded it, too, as well as others.
