  • - The song Running Bear was originally recorded by Johnny Preston in 1959 and has the songwriting credit given to J.P. Richardson. This is the song that the Guess Who performs on Rockin'. Clarence "Curly" Herdman also recorded a song called Running Bear, released on his 1967 album Fancy Fiddle, for which he apparently receives credit as the composer. It is unclear whether there is one Running Bear song with a conflicting composer credit, or if there are two different Running Bear songs with an erroneous attribution on Rockin'.
