Geronimo's Cadillac (Michael Martin Murphey song)
"Geronimo's Cadillac" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Michael Martin Murphey then billed as Michael Murphey being the title cut of his 1972 debut album ''Geronimo's Cadillac'' which was an A&M Records release.
==Background and impact==
Murphey was inspired to write "Geronimo's Cadillac" by a photograph showing Apache chief Geronimo at the wheel of a luxury roadster: this photograph was reproduced as a drawing on the back album cover of ''Geronimo's Cadillac'' and also on the picture sleeve of the single. The July–August 1987 issue of '' American Songwriter'' quotes Murphey as saying: "the two images together Geronimo and a Cadillac just struck me as a song title. It was every irony I could ever think of about our culture in two words. Their attempt to make of him what we would define as a civilized person. That was the reason they put him in a Cadillac in the first place. He was actually in jail at the time." The photograph was taken at a show for the US press held June 11, 1905 at a ranch located southwest of Ponca City, Oklahoma: Geronimo, then imprisoned at Fort Sill, is actually posed in a Locomobile rather than a Cadillac.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geronimo's Cadillac )〕
Released July 31, 1972 as a single which edited the track's original 4:39 length to 3:21 "Geronimo's Cadillac" reached number 37 on the Hot 100 in ''Billboard'' magazine.〔Whitburn, Joel (1996). ''The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits'', 6th Edition (Billboard Publications)〕 The track also charted in Canada with a peak of number 30 on the Top Singles chart in ''RPM'' magazine. "Geronimo's Cadillac" afforded Murphey his sole Hot 100 charting until "Wildfire" on Epic Records reached number 3 in 1975. The success of "Wildfire" caused A&M to re-issue "Geronimo's Cadillac" with a new B-side: "Blessing in Disguise" a track from Murphey's 1973 album ''Cosmic Cowboy Souvenir'', replacing "Boy From the Country." However this re-issue of "Geronimo's Cadillac" did not chart, failing to deflect interest from Epic's follow-up single release to "Wildfire": "Carolina in the Pines", which just fell short of the top 20.
