Description

A GREAT ROCKING 78 FROM BOYD BENNETT & HIS ROCKETS WITH VOCALS FROM BIG MOE

SEVENTEEN

b/w  LITTLE OLE YOU-ALL

In 1955, the same year "Bill Haley and the Comets" topped the pop music chart with Rock Around the Clock, Boyd created a new sound while playing the drums during a number of recording sessions with such musicians as Earl Bostick, Bill Doggett, and "Otis Williams and The Charms".

          Boyd realized country music was not the best music for future success. He began to experiment with songs that would appeal to teenagers. Boyd and his band rented the King Record's studio to produce revolutionary new songs. They recorded Poison Ivy, You upset Me Baby and Boogie at Midnight. When sales topped 100,000 copies on each session, Boyd leased the masters to King Record Company. Singles were then re-released under King Records. They eventually signed Boyd to a contract. 

          In 1955, "Boyd Bennett and His Rockets" hit pay dirt. They produced the chart topper, "Seventeen" and the rest is history.
