Johnny Burnette was a rockabilly pioneer in Memphis, TN, USA - with his older brother Dorsey Burnette &, a friend, Paul Burlison - founded Johnny Burnette & The Rock ‘n’ Roll Trio.
Burlison was an electrician and pioneered the electric guitar effect known as the “rumble” in evidence on Burnette’s earlier first hit “Train kept a’Rollin” achieved by leaving a capacitor loose in its fittings.
All three worked with Elvis Presley while he was a truck driver, and followed him in resuming their search for stardom. The Burnettes and Burlison were all keen boxers.
Johnny Burnette became a popular singer of what were sometimes known as rock ballads, he had been a determined wannabe for 10 years or so before he made his series of hits, and became a USA music fixture.|
