TOP ROCK-A-BILLY! 

JESSE LEE TURNER 78 ON THE UK LONDON LABEL

SHAKE, BABY, SHAKE

b/w  THE LITTLE SPACE GIRL


ROCK-A-BILLY AT IT'S BEST!!

Jesse Lee Turner had a strong rock 'n' roll voice, with an Elvis-like quiver. Unfortunately, this side of Turner can be heard on only a few of his discs. He had the misfortune that his only hit was a novelty number and that fact kept haunting him for the rest of his recording career. Jesse Lee was hired as Jerry Lee Lewis' driver in 1957. He recorded "Put Me Down" as a demo for Sun (now available on at least six different CD compilations) and Jerry Lee was sufficiently impressed to record the song himself, for his first album. Turner's career as a recording artist zoomed into orbit with his first real release.
 At a time when witch doctors, purple people eaters and chipmunks were all over the charts, a song about another alien from outer space, "The Little Space Girl" looked like a good commercial bet. The record was produced in Texas by Dewey Groom (a veteran country singer who set himself up as a music entrepreneur after coming off the road in 1958) and leased to Carlton Records. "The Little Space Girl", featuring the Chipmunk-like voice of Paul Belin, a Texas deejay, was written by Jesse Lee's cousin Floyd Robinson, though Turner was inadvertently credited as the writer. It came out in December 1958 and was picked by Billboard as a "Spotlight winner of the week". By February 1959, it had reached # 20 on the Billboard charts. However, those who flipped the record over and played "Shake Baby Shake" (based on Hank Ballard's "Sexy Ways") knew immediately where Turner's musical loyalty lay.
It is his best rocker!

THIS IS A VERY RARE 78!
