It was not who I was thinking of but I will be doing some research here, I had seen the person I am looking for as "The Only" in the past and it was in an article that told m he also appeared in a few episode of CHIPS the TV programme with his Thrill Circus.

Slight misquote on my part:
<> promoted himself as a full-blooded American Indian. He was referred to as the "Charging Cherokee" and everybody called him "The Chief."
<> laughs about it to this day. While his grandfather was dark skinned and had Indian features, there is no Indian blood in the <> family.
"Back in the day, it was all about promotion," <> said. "He was raised in the Oklahoma-Texas region and he was real tan. Part of his shtick was that he was a full-blooded, Native American."
