    JOHNNY BURNETTE

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Né le 25 mars 1934 à MEMPHIS TENNESSEE, 2e fils de DORSEY Sr Burnette et WILLIE MAE .

     

    Famille tres pauvre (decidemment) est-ce une fatalité,vivant dans une tres  petite maison faite main par son pere .Sa maman le trouvant tres envahit de musique,lui achete une guitare à l'age de 5 ans (un luxe) .Il va en abuser, abuser ,bref plus ne va compter autant que sa "gratte" .Il va à l"école paroissial,puis à l'école secondaire catholique,mais n'ira pas à la humes high school avec ELVIS . Au lycée il fait preuve d'un niveau athlétique hors normes (football -basket -boxe) .Une anecdote qui dit qu'un jour sur le terrain de foot, il a affronte RED WEST (amis d elvis),ce se  serait mal passe .

     

    Il va lui arriver un grave accident ,coma pendant 3 jours et  apres 3 mois de convalescence,il va vouloir ce lancer dans la musique à par entiere  .Il cree un groupe au lycée et fait ses débuts à MILLIGTON (base navale) .Il gagne de l'argent tres important pour sa famille et décide de quitter l'école .Il se fait refuser par HANK SNOW au GRAND OLE OPRY (tres peu ouvert au jeune a priori via ELVIS),donc il se lance dans une carriere en boxe .Comme son frère il participe au championnat CITY GOLDEN GLOVES à MEMPHIS .Johnny passe pro et obtient 150 $ pour affronter RAY NORRIS ,durant le combat il se fait casser le nez,défaite mal accueillie .Son frere DORSEY et lui,début 50 vont cotoyer ELVIS,qui va les appeler les DALTONS, par leur penchant pour la castagne,ils vont jouer dans une buanderie et ce prendre pour des futurs vedette qui sait ?

     

    Les deux freres vont rencontrer un 3e boxeur PAUL BURLISON (né à browsville tennessee EN 1929),qui a joue avec HOWLIN WOLF .Johnny travaille à la crown electric (Elvis y a ete aussi) .Apres avoir arrete la boxe pour sa passion,son frere,Paul et lui décident de faire du HILLBILLY ensemble et cotoyer d'autres musiciens,pour acquérir de l'experience .Leur penchant pour la violence va aussi se retrouver dans leur musique .Malgré leur impossibilité d'écrire la musique (solfege etc),ils vont par la suite ecrire une partie de l'histoire du rockabilly,par une série de super titres bien à eux et inventant un style .

     

    En 1954 ils enregistrent à CORINTH leur premier single ,produite par le papa d'EDDIE BOND .Le disque sort en novembre 1955 sous le firme VON : YOU RE UNDECIDED + GO MULE GO (SP VON 1006) .

     

    (malgré ce que certaines personnes veulent affirmer,ce n'est pas eux qui ont sortis le 1er vrai rockab mais bien ELVIS, car avec ce single on y est pas encore) .

     

    Refusé par Sam Phillips, le groupe part tenter sa chance à NEW YORK où il prend le nom de Rock'n'Roll Trio. Ils sortent Tear It Up chez Coral qui sort le single TEAR IT UP +YOU RE UNDECIDED (SP CORAL 9-61651) .Comme PRESLEY,ils vont rester à trois , style tres SUN et vont instaurer ce style tres simple mais oh combien sauvage et efficace .Ils vont sortir dans l'année 56 de tres grands titres comme OH BABY BABE (ebauche de baby let s play house du KING) -MINIGHT TRAIN -THE TRAIN KEPT A ROLLIN -HONEY HUSH pour fin 1956 sortir LE SUBBLIME ALBUM  / ROCK ROLL TRIO / (LP CORAL 57080) en decembre exactement .

     

    ILs vont tourner avec LES DRIFTERS -CARL PERKINS -GENE VINCENT (se lieront d amitie) .1957 ils continuent sur leur lancer ,la seule ombre est comme beaucoup pour pluieurs raisons ,ils n ont pas la reconnaissance nationale,ils sont loin du succes de PRESLEY .Fin 57 decembre ,sort un de leur plus grand titre ROCK BILLY BOOGIE ,devenu un standart et reprise par ROBERT GORDON et grand nombre d artiste revival .

     

    SP CORAL 9-61918 (US) . Johnny BURNETTE TRIO - Rock Billy Boogie  / If You Want It Enough

     

     

     

    Puis le trio se sépare et les frères Burnette écrivent pour Roy Brown ou Ricky Nelson.

     

    En 1960 Johnny Burnette connaît son heure de gloire avec une ballade Dreamin' qui entre dans le top 10. La même année un autre titre You’re Sixteen apparaît dans le top 10 US. Ce morceau sera repris en 1974 par Ringo Starr qui sera classé n°1 aux États-Unis.

     

    Le 14 août 1964 Johnny Burnette trouve la mort accidentellement, alors qu’il pêche en bateau sur le Clear Lake en Californie, laissant une veuve et deux orphelins. Son fils Rocky Burnette chante aujourd’hui du rockabilly avec le chanteur Darrel Higham. En 1979 il entre au Top 10 anglais avec le titre rockabilly Tired of Toein’ The Line. Son neveu Billy Burnette fait une belle carrière comme chanteur de musique country et comme acteur.
