Item description
Vintage original 8 x 10 in. US single-weight glossy photograph with the original corresponding two-page 8 x 10 in. press release pages featuring Rockabilly singer and motion picture actor DORSEY BURNETTE, c.1950s.
He is depicted in a close publicity shot during his association with Era Records, which notes that he was then represented by Artist Management Bureau in Los Angeles. On the verso are various stats about him (he was 25 at then time) and his contact information. Also included is the original corresponding 8.5 x 11 in. two-page press release template entitled DORSEY BURNETTE IN PERSON, which is essentially a bio of his and his work, which is stapled together on the top left corner. Both the photograph and press release template are in very fine condition with an outline of the original paperclip that has kept them attached together for years on the top near the left corner.
Dorsey Burnette (December 28, 1932 – August 19, 1979) was an American early rockabilly singer. With his younger brother, Johnny Burnette, and a friend named Paul Burlison, he was a founder member of The Rock and Roll Trio. He is also the father of country musician and Fleetwood Mac member Billy Burnette.
During the 1970s, Dorsey turned to the big screen. In 1974, he was credited with writing the songs for the film Bootleggers (aka Bootleggers Angel). In 1976, he helped compose the music, with Mike Curb and Duane Eddy, for Dixie Dynamite. In 1977, he was credited as the composer of the original music for the soundtrack of the horror movie Kingdom of the Spiders. In 1978, he was credited with singing the title song of the movie My Boys Are Good Boys as well as co-writing the song in collaboration with Doug Goodwin. In 1979, he signed with Elektra/Asylum label. Just after his first record release, however, he died of a massive heart attack at his home in Canoga Park, California on August 19, 1979, aged 46. He is interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery in Glendale, California
