Johnny Burnette was born this day in 1934

Johnny Burnette was born this day in 1934 in Memphis, TN.  Johnny and his older brother Dorsey formed a trio with guitarist Paul Burlison called The Rock and Roll Trio.  These wild, early rockabilly tunes have become classics with songs like "Train Kept A Rollin'", "Honey Hush", "Tear It Up", "Rock Billy Boogie", "Lonesome Train" and so many more.  Johnny & Dorsey also wrote many great hits for others including Ricky Nelson ("It's Late", "I Believe What You Say", "Waitin' In School" and more).  As a solo artist, Johnny enjoyed success with songs like "You're Sixteen", "God, Country & My Baby", "Dreamin", "Cincinnati Fireball" and more.  Burnette continued to record until his untimely death in August of 1964 at the young age of 30.
