He mele ʻAmelika kaulana ʻo Johnny Burnette i nā makahiki 1950 a me 1960, a ua kaulana ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he mea kākau a mea hoʻokani pila a me nā mele rockabilly. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea hoʻokumu a kaulana i kēia ʻano i ka moʻomeheu mele ʻAmelika, me kāna kamaʻāina kaulana ʻo Elvis Presley. Ua pau ka hana hoʻomohala a Burnett i kona kiʻekiʻe ma muli o kahi ulia pōpilikia.
ʻO nā makahiki ʻōpio ʻo Johnny Burnette
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Johnny Joseph Burnett i ka makahiki 1934 ma Memphis, Tennessee, USA. Ma waho aʻe o Johnny, ua hānai pū ka ʻohana i ke kaikaina ʻo Dorsey, a ua lilo ia i mea hoʻokumu i ka hui rockabilly ʻo The Rock & Roll Trio.
I kona wā ʻōpiopio, noho ʻo Burnett i ka hale kiʻekiʻe like me kahi ʻōpio ʻo Elvis Presley, nona ka ʻohana i neʻe i Memphis mai Missouri. Eia nō naʻe, i kēlā mau makahiki, ʻaʻohe pilina noʻonoʻo ma waena o nā hōkū e hiki mai ana o ka rock and roll.
Ua a'o ka mea mele e hiki mai ana ma ke kula Katolika "Holy Communion". A ʻaʻole i hōʻike mua i ka hoihoi nui i ke mele. ʻO kahi kanaka ʻōpio ikaika, hoʻomohala kino, ʻoi aku ka hoihoi i nā haʻuki. ʻO ia kekahi o nā mea pāʻani nui ma ke kula pōhili a me nā kime pōpeku ʻAmelika. Ma hope mai, ua lilo ʻo ia me kona kaikaina ʻo Dorsey i ka makemake nui i ka mokomoko, a lanakila ʻo ia i ka hoʻokūkū moku'āina ʻōpio. Ma hope o kona haʻalele ʻana i ke kula, ua hoʻāʻo ʻo Burnett e ʻike iā ia iho i ka mokomoko ʻoihana, akā ʻaʻole i kūleʻa loa.
Ma hope o kekahi hakakā lanakila ʻole, mahalo iā ia i loaʻa iā ia he $ 60 a haʻi hoʻi i kona ihu, ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e haʻalele i nā haʻuki ʻoihana. Ua loaʻa iā Johnny he 17 makahiki i kahi hana ma ke ʻano he luina ma luna o kahi moku hoʻokele ponoʻī, kahi i komo mua ai kona kaikunāne ma ke ʻano he kōkua noʻonoʻo. Ma hope o kekahi huakaʻi ʻē aʻe, ua hana ʻo ia a me Dorsey i ka hapa manawa ma ko lāua kamaʻāina ʻo Memphis. Ua hana lākou ma nā pā pō a me nā papahele hula.
ʻO ke ʻano o The Rock & Roll Trio
Ma ke ʻano liʻiliʻi, makemake nui nā kaikunāne i ka makemake i ke mele. A i ka pau ʻana o ka makahiki 1952 ua hoʻoholo lākou e hoʻokumu i ka hui Rhythm Rangers mua. ʻO ke kolu, ua kono lākou i ko lākou hoa ʻo P. Barlison.
Ua hoʻokani pila a pau ʻekolu koe wale nō nā leo: ʻo Jimmy ma ka acoustic, ʻo Barlison ma ke kīkā alakaʻi, a ʻo Dorsey ma ka bass. Ua hoʻoholo pū ka hui i kāna kuhikuhi mele. ʻO ia wale nō ka rockabilly nascent, ʻo ia ka hui ʻana o ka pōhaku a me ka ʻōwili, ka ʻāina, a me ka boogie-woogie.
I kekahi mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua haʻalele kekahi trinity ʻōpio akā makemake nui mai ko lākou panalāʻau Memphis e lanakila ma New York. Ma ʻaneʻi, ma hope o ke ʻano o nā hoʻāʻo kūleʻa ʻole e "ʻoki" i ke kahua nui, ua ʻakaʻaka ʻo ka waiwai iā lākou. I ka makahiki 1956, hiki i nā mea ho'okani pila ke komo i ka papahana Ted Mack a lanakila i kēia ho'okūkū no nā mea ho'okani 'ōpio.
He mea nui kēia lanakila liʻiliʻi iā Burnett a me kona mau hoa. Ua loaʻa iā lākou kahi ʻaelike me ka hui mele ʻo New York Coral Records. ʻO ka hui, i kapa ʻia ʻo The Rock & Roll Trio, ua mālama ʻia e Henry Jerome. Eia kekahi, ua kono ʻia ʻo Tony Austin i ka hui ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani pahu.
Kaulana kaulana ʻole o ka hui
Ua hoʻokō maikaʻi ʻia nā hana mua o ka hui i hana ʻia ma nā wahi like ʻole ma New York a ma ka Hale Mele. A i ke kauwela, hele kaʻahele ʻo The Rock & Roll Trio i ʻAmelika me nā mea hana e like me Harry Perkins a me Gene Vincent. I ka hāʻule ʻana o ka makahiki 1956, ua lanakila lākou i kekahi hoʻokūkū mele, i mālama ʻia ma Madison Square Garden. I ka manawa like, ua hoʻopaʻa a hoʻokuʻu ka hui i ʻekolu mau mele mua.
No ka uhi ʻana i nā kumukūʻai o nā hoʻopaʻa leo hou a me ka noho ʻana ma New York, pono nā mea hoʻokani pila e hana me ka wikiwiki o ka hana mau a me nā huakaʻi. Hoʻopilikia ʻia kēia i ke ʻano o ka manaʻo o nā lālā o ka hui. Ua ulu pinepine mai ka hakaka a me ka manao ole kekahi i kekahi. I ka hopena o 1956, ma hope o ka hana ʻana a The Rock & Roll Trio ma Niagara Falls, ua hoʻolaha ʻo Dorsey i kona hoʻomaha ʻana ma hope o ka hakakā ʻana me kona kaikunāne.
Ua hana ʻia kēia i kekahi mau pule ma mua o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻana o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻana o Frida's Rock, Rock, Rock. Pono ka luna hui e ʻimi koke i kahi pani no Dorsey i haʻalele - ua lilo ʻo bassist John Black iā lākou. Akā, ʻoiai ke ʻano o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni "Frida" a me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o ʻekolu mau mele i ka makahiki 1957, ʻaʻole i loaʻa i ka hui ke kaulana nui. Ua kūʻai maikaʻi ʻole ʻia kāna mau moʻolelo, a ʻaʻole i paʻa hou kāna mau mele i nā palapala ʻāina. ʻO ka hopena, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Coral Records ʻaʻole e hana hou i ka ʻaelike me nā mea hoʻokani pila.
ʻO Johnny Burnett's California Triumph
Ma hope o ka hāʻule ʻana o ka hui, ua hoʻi ʻo Johnny Burnett i kona kamaʻāina ʻo Memphis, kahi i hālāwai ai me kahi hoaaloha o kona wā ʻōpio, ʻo Joe Campbell. Me ia, ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e hana i ka lua o ka hoʻāʻo e lanakila i ka mele mele Olympus o ʻAmelika. Ua hui hou ʻia lākou e Dosi lāua ʻo Burlinson, a holo ka huakaʻi holoʻokoʻa i Kaleponi.
I ka hōʻea ʻana i Los Angeles, ua ʻike ʻo Johnny lāua ʻo Dorsey i ka helu o kā lāua kiʻi kamaliʻi, ʻo Ricky Nelson. I ka manaʻo o ka mea hoʻokani, ua noho nā kaikunāne i ka lā a pau ma ka lanai o ka hale, akā e kali mau ana iā ia. Ua uku ʻia ka hoʻomanawanui ʻana o ka poʻe Burnets. Ua ʻae ʻo Nelson e kamaʻāina me kā lākou papa mele, a no ke kumu maikaʻi. Ua mahalo nui ʻia nā mele a ua ʻae ʻo ia e hoʻopaʻa i kekahi mau mele me lākou.
ʻO ka holomua o ka hana hui a nā kaikunāne Burnett a me Rocky Nelson i hiki ai i nā mea hoʻokani ke hoʻopau i kahi palapala hoʻopaʻa leo me Imperial Records. Ma ka papahana mele hou, hana nā kaikunāne ʻo Johnny lāua ʻo Dorsey ma ke ʻano he duet. A ua kono ʻia ʻo Doyle Holly ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani pila. Mai ka makahiki 1958, ua hoʻomaka ka lanakila maoli o John Burnett ma ke ʻano he haku mele a he mea hoʻokani. I ka makahiki 1961, ua hoʻokuʻu nā kaikunāne i kā lākou hui hui hope loa. A laila ua hoʻoholo lākou e hele i ko lākou ala ponoʻī ma ke ʻano he mea pena kiʻi solo.
ʻO ke ala Solo o Johnny Burnette
Ua loaʻa iā John nā kono mai nā hui mele like ʻole. I nā makahiki 1960 mua, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo ia i nā mele no kekahi mau papahana i ka manawa hoʻokahi. Ma waena o lākou, pono e hōʻike ʻia nā album: Green Grass of Texas (1961, reissued in 1965) a me Bloody River (1961). Ua hiki ka Dreamin 'hoʻokahi i ka helu 11 ma nā palapala kiʻi aupuni ma 1960. Ua kūʻai ʻia ma luna o 1 miliona mau kope. No kēia pā, ua loaʻa iā Burnett kahi RIAA Golden Disc.
Ua ʻoi aku ka kūleʻa o ka hit You are ʻumikumamāono, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka makahiki aʻe. ʻO ia ka helu 8 ma ka US Hot 100 a me ka helu 5 ma ka UK National Chart. No kēia mele, ua loaʻa hou iā Johnny ka "disike gula", akā ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hele i kāna hōʻike. I kekahi mau lā ma mua o ka ʻahaʻaina, ua hoʻokomo ʻia ʻo ia i ka haukapila me ka maʻi apendisitis ruptured. Ma hope o ka haʻalele ʻana i ka haukapila, ua lawe ʻo Burnett i ka noʻonoʻo me ka ikaika hou aʻe, hele i ka huakaʻi ma USA, Australia a me Great Britain.
ʻO ka make pōʻino o Johnny Burnette
Ma ka waena o 1960s, aia ka mea pena i ka piko o kāna ʻoihana. ʻO nā hoʻolālā o ka mea hoʻokani pila he 30 makahiki e hoʻopuka i nā hōʻiliʻili hou a me nā mele hoʻokahi a lākou e hana nei. Akā, ua hiki mai kahi pōʻino. I ʻAukake i ka makahiki 1964, ua hele ʻo ia i ka lawaiʻa ma California's Clear Lake. Ma ʻaneʻi ʻo ia i hoʻolimalima ai i kahi moku kaʻa, hele hoʻokahi no ka lawaiʻa pō.
I ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i kāna moku, ua hana hewa ʻo Johnny - ua hoʻopau ʻo ia i nā kukui ʻaoʻao. ʻAʻole paha lākou e hoʻoweliweli i ka iʻa. ʻAʻole naʻe ʻo ia i noʻonoʻo ma ka loko i ka pō o ke kauwela he neʻe ikaika loa. ʻO ka hopena, ʻo kona waʻa e kū ana i ka pōʻeleʻele, ua kuʻi ʻia e kekahi moku e holo wikiwiki ana.
Mai ka hahau ikaika, ua kiola ʻia ʻo Burnet me ka ʻike ʻole ma luna o ka moana, a ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻopakele iā ia. Ma ka ʻaha hoʻomaha aloha me ka mea hoʻokani pila, ua ʻākoakoa hou ka haku mele holoʻokoʻa o ka bana, kahi āna i hoʻomaka ai i kāna huakaʻi i ke kiʻekiʻe o ka rock and roll, ʻo ke kaikaina ʻo Dorsey, Paul Berlinson a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. Ua kanu ʻia ʻo John Burnett ma Memorial Park ma ka nā wahi e pili ana i Los Angeles, ma Glendale.
