    Just remembered two more !! Denis Alcapone namechecks Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson on his 1971 song 'Ripe Cherry' and David Bowie mentions the name Cassius Clay on a track called 'Candidate' Off the 'Diamond Dogs album.

    I suppose that when the Platters recorded The Great Pretender,back in the 50's,they could have forseen the emergence of Audley Harrison !

    I'm sure that Ali would be fine with his mane brought up in song by a fellow Irishman.
