Larry Groce released eight singles between 1972 and 1981. Junk Food Junkie, recorded at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica, was his only hit. Here is his Winnie The Pooh For President (Buena Vista #504, 1976), featuring Sterling Holloway as Winnie The Pooh. Holloway voiced Winnie The Pooh in four Disney animated films. He also voiced Kaa in The Jungle Book and the Cheshire Cat in Alice In Wonderland and narrated Mickey & The Beanstalk.

Black Betty was first recorded in 1933 by James "Iron Head" Baker. John Lomax, a musicologist and president of the Texas Folklore Society, received a grant from the American Council of Learned Societies in 1933 and began making recordings of local folk singers. James Baker and Moses Platt, who were serving time at Central State Prison in Sugar Land were the first two he recorded. Some sources credit Huddy "Lead Belly" Ledbetter with writing Black Betty. Other sources say the song is "traditional." Lead Belly recorded his own version in 1935. Here is the original a-cappella recording by Baker and some of his fellow prisoners:
