ORIGINAL US STARDAY ROCK-A-BILLY 78 FROM LINK DAVIS
SIXTEEN CHICKS
b/w GRASSHOPPER ROCK
The name LINK DAVIS is well known to the fans of a number of musical styles. Over a period of three decades, he was involved in Western Swing, Hillbilly, Cajun, Rockabilly, Roll and Roll and Blues recordings, either as a recording artist in his own right or as a supporting musician.
In 1956, he joined Pappy Daily’s Starday label and here he cut some superb Hillbilly, Cajun, Rockabilly and out-and-out R & R. Together with the likes of Hal Harris ( guitar ) and again Doc Lewis ( piano ) he also appeared on dozens, no, more likely hundreds of recordings. He played the sax on the Big Bopper’s classic Chantilly Lace ( D 1008 / Mercury 71343 ) as well as playing sax and supplying the “ war whoops “ on Johnny Preston’ s Running Bear ( Mercury 71474 ).
The first of the Starday singles was Sixteen Chicks, a song that Davis wrote with Wayne Walker and was later covered by Joe Clay in May 1956, The Jets in 1981 and many others too!
