Re: 19 Year old kid sings live.....and began it all.
Good one Tony.
Reminds me when I first went to the boarding school in Malaya.
We had a small common room, with a radio, and heard him as well as the big bopper and Buddy Holly.
That was 1957.Non nobis Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam

By the way that was his frst real Public appearance on 16th October 1954. He had sung in a few Cafes and had sang at the opening og a drug store. He took the money from that and went around the corner from his house to a small Recording Studio owned by a geezer named Philips known as Sun Records later to become Philips Records and paid to record "Its alright Mama"
That was a week after the Grand 'Ol Opry in Nashvile Tennesee had turned him down at his audition.
He shot up the charts with it and the rest is history. Listen to that voice for a nineteen year old kid on a live session on an analogue mike with acoustic guitars banging away into waist high mikes."If they control your speech.....they control your life"
