Apachee was Michael S. Schwartz who was playing guitar et writing songs as a hobby. Some of his songs were recorded : "Closer To Your Heart" (J.T. Carter on Decca in 1965), "What Was She Doing" (Tracie Robbins on Decca, 1965) and "Make The Most Of This World" (Bo Donaldson And The Heywoods on ABC, 1975). the latest written when he was a law school student in the late 1960s. Schwartz became the youngest man ever to be elected mayor of Golf Manor, a one-square-mile city In central Hamilton County. A Republican, he had been elected to council in November, 1973, four years after his graduation from Salmon P. Chase College of Law. The same year he became mayor, in 1975, Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods, a local rock group, recorded Schwartz' song for the flip side of their recording, "Our Last Song Together." The record made it to No. 95 on national record charts. Back in those song-writing days, Schwartz said he "never thought about politics. It just wasn't my city, he said. "I guess It was the fact that I was the lone Republican."

Michael Schwartz, age 63, passed away Dec. 7, 2007.
