Hometown
Memphis, TN, United States
Born
March 25, 1934
Genre
Rock
A contemporary of Elvis Presley in the Memphis scene of the mid-'50s, Johnny Burnette played a similar brand of fiery, spare wild-man rockabilly. With his brother Dorsey on bass and guitarist Paul Burlison, he recorded a clutch of singles for Decca from 1956 to 1957 that achieved only regional success. Featuring the groundbreaking fuzzy tone of Burlison's guitar, Johnny's energetic vocals, and Dorsey's slapping bass, these recordings, highlighted by the first rock & roll version of "Train Kept A-Rollin'," compare well to the classic Sun rockabilly of the same era. The trio disbanded in 1957, and Johnny found pop success as a teen idol in the early '60s with hits like "You're Sixteen" and "Dreamin'." Burnette died in a boating accident in 1964. His brother Dorsey achieved modest success as a solo act in the early '60s, and Burlison resurfaced as a member of the Sun Rhythm Section.
