A singer-songwriter in Virginia, who goes by the name Oliver Anthony went viral last week when his anthem “Rich Men North Of Richmond” blew up on social media, leaving many to wonder just who is the red-haired, bearded man behind the lyrics.
On August 10, Oliver — born Christopher Anthony Lunsford — posted what some have dubbed the “American working man’s” song, just like he’d done with other songs he’d shared on his social media platforms. But instead of the song getting a couple thousand to several hundred thousand views, it went viral. The video stands, at the time of this publication, with 25.5 million views. It also appeared on the YouTube channel RadioWV, where the song has acquired 17 million views and counting.
