Rockabilly Gal

Hayden Thompson started his recording career at Sun Studios under the guidance of Sam Phillips in 1956. As you probably know, many of early rock'n'roll's most famous artists (Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins) got their start at Sun Studios where they recorded some of the world's best known rockabilly tunes. Surprisingly, though, this song by Hayden Thompson - Rockabilly Gal - was the only one from Sun Studios that included the word 'rockabilly' in the title.





And nearly sixty years later Hayden Thompson is still going strong at the age of 76, and still singing the oldies like Rockabilly Gal. Here he is in France at the Good Rockin' Tonight concert in 2015:
