The hottest property on disc after Presley in the late fifties, he was the safer face of rock 'n' roll. Wholesome, softspoken and religious, his wins on TV talent shows earned him a recording contract with Dot Records. He made 13 singles which sold over a million, including Ain't That a Shame (1955), Friendly Persuasion and Remember You're Mine (both 1956), and Love Letters in the Sand (1957).
