-Mini bio: Born on Dec. 28, 1932 in Memphis, Tennessee. Died of a heart attack on Aug. 19, 1979, age 46. Older brother of Johnny Burnette and father of Billy Burnette. Dorsey Burnette was a rockabilly pioneer along with youner brother Johnny Burnette and Paul Burlison when they formed the Johnny Burnette Rock & Roll Trio from 1956-1957. The brothers also recorded as The Texans in 1961

-Dorsey Burnette entered Billboard's Top 100 Charts 3 times with well-crafted teen pop-rockers and love ballads which were: (There Was A) Tall Oak Tree (1950), Hey Little One (1960) and The Greatest Love (1969).

-Dorsey Burnette also released several singles which although didn't chart, are nonetheless worth tracking down. Some of which are: The Devil's Queen (1956), Bertha Lou (1957), Lonely Train (1959) Hard Rock Mine (1961) and Great Shakin' Fever (1961).

-Side one: Great Shakin' Fever

-Fast-tempo rockabilly sizzler with Dorsey Burnette's unique vocals with driving bass, drums, sax, strummed guitar and a killer guitar solo! 

-Although a hot rockabilly killer, Great Shakin' Fever made no impact on Billboard's charts, sold in smaller numbers than his usual output and is quite scarce today.

-Side two: That's Me Without You

-Written by Dorsey Burnette is a loping mid-tempo teen rocker with his unique vocals, strummed guitar, strings, light drums, bass and a good guitar solo.

Record grading:

(M) Mint: A mint record should appear to have just left the manufacturers without any handling; that is, it should appear perfect! No light scuffs or scratches, blotches or stains on labels or writing, tears or splits; nothing. Perfect. And age has nothing to do with it; the same standards for Mint apply to a rare rockabilly single from 1955 as they do to a Top 40 record from 1988! There are no sliding values for Mint. A Mint record cover should appear to have never had a record in it; no ring-wear, dog-eared corners, writing, seam-splits; nothing! Perfect! Even a new, unplayed old stock record can have factory flaws. Mint should be used sparingly and will usually attract a premium value to serious collectors. Mint means perfect and nothing else!

(SS) Still sealed: Still sealed in the factory shrink wrap.

(M-) Mint minus: A nearly perfect record. The record will show no obvious signs of wear, very light surface scuffs from normal handling are permitted but no light scratches. Original finish intact. Picture sleeves should have no more than the most minor defects, such as almost invisible ring wear or other signs of slight handling.

(VG+) Very good plus: The record will show some signs that it was played or otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surfaces may show some slight signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or light scratches. Picture sleeves may have some slight ring wear, lightly turned up corners, or a small seam split.

(VG) Very good: Many of the defects found in a VG+ record or sleeve will be more pronounced in a VG record or picture sleeve. Groove wear may be noticeable, the record may have light scratches (deep enough to feel with a fingernail) that will affect the sound, but the foreign noises will be less prominent than the music. Picture sleeves may have quite prominent ring wear. Creases, folds, seam splits and tears will be more obvious and may appear on all three sides, and there may be writing as well.

(VG-) Very good minus: Foreign noises may be about as prominent as the music. The record still plays through without skipping. The picture sleeve will have more significant seam splits, perhaps to the point where they were taped closed, and highly obvious ring wear and heavier writing. Can serve as a filler until a better one comes along.

(G) Good: We seldom offer a good record for sale unless it is particularly rare for the following reasons: Foreign noises are louder than the recorded music and listening can be distracted by the noise. May or may not play through without skipping, but should be so noted. Picture sleeves are so badly seam split that they may not be able to contain the record within.Tears, folds, writing and ring wear may be overwhelming.
