In continuation of a string of firsts, the Saints advanced to their first Super Bowl in franchise history and won it in dramatic fashion. After the coin toss, the Saints wanted the ball first; however, this didn't help their first drive. The Colts drove the ball down the field with an attempt to score the first touchdown but was denied and forced Matt Stover to kick a 38 yard goal. But the Colts were not finished: on their next possession, Pierre Garcon caught a 19 yard TD pass from Peyton Manning, and the Colts led 10-0 after fifteen minutes. In the second quarter, the Saints were forced to look upon Garrett Hartley for two field goals - a 46 yarder and a 44 yarder respectively - and the deficit was reduced to four points by halftime.

Weirdo Video Exclusive

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- Cliff Crofford, a renowned songwriter and entertainer with a local connection, died Sunday.

A private family viewing will be held Friday in Ontario, according to Draper Mortuary.

Crofford was one of the pioneers of the Bakersfield Sound. He was a prolific songwriter and versatile musician who hosted both radio and television shows and wrote a number of songs for movies.

Born in 1929 in Rochester, Texas, Crofford found his way to Bakersfield while on a vacation to Reno in 1949.

Crofford stopped in Bakersfield after a friend suggested he meet fellow musician Bill Woods, according to Crofford's long-time friend Jiles Beam. Crofford decided to move to Bakersfield and joined Bill Woods' band, playing at Café 99 in McFarland.

They also had a radio show that ran five days a week on KAFY 500 AM.

Throughout his career, Crofford played in three bands, the Orange Blossom Playboys with Bill Woods, the Jimmy Thomason Band and the Beardsley Ball Room. He also appeared at several clubs in Bakersfield, including the Blackboard, the Clover Club and the Lucky Spot.

Crofford spent time playing clubs in the Los Angeles area and even toured with Johnny Cash through the Midwest.

Crofford made several TV appearances on the "Afternoon Show" and the "Jimmy Thomason Show." He also co-hosted "The Chuck Wagon Gang" in the mid 1950s.

Some of his greatest fame came from his work in movies, that included not only his songs, but appearance in Clint Eastwood's film "Every Which Way But Loose" and Burt Reynold's "Smokey and the Bandit II."

Crofford was 79.
