About Johnny Burnette Trio The three members of the Johnny Burnette Rock 'N Roll Trio were Paul Burlison (born in Brownsville, Tennessee in 1929), Dorsey Burnette (born in Memphis in 1932) and his brother Johnny Burnette (born in Memphis in 1934). All three of them were boxers as young men (Dorsey and Johnny were at one time Golden Gloves champions) and all had a passion for music. According to some sources the Burnette brothers both attended Humes High School in Memphis, where Presley was a student; others say they attended Catholic High School in Memphis. And at one time or another, Dorsey, Johnny and Presley all worked for Crown Electric in Memphis. Burlison and the Burnette brothers worked in various aspects of the music business around Memphis and formed their group in 1953. Paul Burlison had done some work with Howlin' Wolf, and it was Burlison's buzz-saw-like guitar work that gave the group it's distinct sound. They were an early rockabilly group and attempted to record at Sam Phillips' local Sun Records recording studio -- the same studio where Presley, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis and other future rock notables had recorded when they were unknown talents -- but were turned down. The Johnny Burnette Rock 'N Roll Trio decided to head to New York City. In 1956 they appeared on Ted Mack's Amateur Hour several times, winning each time, and eventually secured a recording contract with Coral Records. They recorded the jump blues tune Train Kept A-Rollin' and Tear It Up, neither of which became big-selling records but both of which are regarded today as important recordings in the evolution of rockabilly music.
