I still remember hearing this on Mom's record player as a little girl - early 1960's. I have always loved many of Sonny's recordings & I'm now over 60!
When I was a kid and this song would come on the radio, I'd question my mom about how Running Bear could love Little White Dove if they never had a conversation. I'd ask her if there was a way he could've gone around the river. lol
Very pretty Indian maiden flowing hair The Chief her father named Running Bear Braves run away bare that father did scare One brave stood his ground with a stare And Running Bear Declared them a pair
I was about 4 or 5 when I first heard this. 💗💗💗(40 something years ago ). My mom had an 8 track player. Loved his music and voice💗 His Christmas album was my favorite.

Does anyone know where the artwork is for this song? It was a picture of the Indian man & woman each standing on a side of the river, reaching out for ea other - thanks in advance for any references
You might have heard the song Running Bear, NOT by Sonny James! The Southern Gentlemen joined Sonny on August 15, 1964. Sonny's recording of "Running Bear" was with the Southern Gentlemen. Sonny's first #1 single started with "Need You" which was recorded on June 25, 1965 and reached #1 on April 22, 1967. In 1961 Sonny James was recording for RCA Victor which included song like Apache, Innocent Angel, The Day's Not Over Yet and only recorded ONE album. "Running Bear" was his 7th consecutive #1 song. I would recommend the biography of Sonny James "Wilful Shadows" by Gary Robble (a Southern Gentleman) for more details.
Johnny Preston had a big hit with it in 1959. His version sold more copies than anyone else's. It might even have hit #1 on the pop charts - I'm not sure. Here he is lip-sync'ing it on the Dick Clark TV show in 1959: th-cam.com/video/1PfrpcqLyzY/w-d-xo.html

Very pretty Indian maiden flowing hair
The Chief her father named Running Bear
Braves run away bare that father did scare
One brave stood his ground with a stare
And Running Bear Declared them a pair

this version is fantastic and the version by MUD is the best
I like this better than the original (Johnny Preston) pop version from about 10 years earlier.
Louis Armstrong has a version of this song.
I different with you I heard the song in 1961
