Info;
Billy was a recording artist on Brunswick records in the 50s. Two of his tracks" I wanna bop" & "School house rock" became famous in the UK in around 1979 at the beginning of the Rockabilly Revival after being featured on the Volume 3 of the collection of the MCA RARE ROCKABILLY ALBUMS.
Otherwise, Billy is better know for his work With stars of the 50s. He was the regular bass player for Jim Reeves, appearing regularly on the Grand Ole Opry shows. As well as Janis Martin etc...
He was also a bass player in a Hillbilly band with THE EVERLY BROTHERS in the very early days before fame. He stayed close with the everlys ever since and even did some song writing for them.
When I met Bill he was proud to say he was out with the everly brothers one night when they stopped in at Buddy Holly's House a few weeks before his tragic airplane crash.
He was around at the party when Roy Orbison pitched his song "Claudette" at the Everly Bros when they asked if they had any material they could record.
The list goes on. A true Rockabilly Legend....
