AN ORIGINAL US SUN PRESSING OF THIS WONDERFUL RAY HARRIS ROCK-A-BILLY 78 IN EXCELLENT CONDITION
GREENBACK DOLLAR, WATCH AND CHAIN
b/w FOOLISH HEART
Ray Harris (September 7, 1927 – November 13, 2003)was an American rockabilly musician and songwriter. He formed a band with Wayne Powers, and wrote the songs "Come On, Little Mama" and "Greenback Dollar, Watch and Chain". He eventually recorded these at Sun Records with Sam Phillips.
He also produced artists at Hi Records. Like others such as Sonny Burgess, Hayden Thompson, Billy Lee Riley and Warren Smith, chart success largely eluded him.
He said of "Greenback Dollar" ... to be perfectly honest, we were drinking the night we cut it. The more we drank, the better the song sounded. And that's the way it happened.
Born in Tupelo, Mississippi, Harris died in November 2003 in Mooreville, Mississippi, at the age of 76.
