Chanteur US né
Albert Sonny Burgess, le 28 mai 1931 à Newport (Arkansas). Il débute avec son
groupe: les Pacers en 1955 et enregistre son premier disque en 1956 à la Sun Records de Memphis (Tennessee). Sonny a été l'un des rares artistes Sun à se démarquer très nettement de l'influence
d'Elvis Presley. Il puisait son inspiration dans le Rhythm 'n' Blues des noirs. Son style sauvage, renforcé par l'emploi d'un trompettiste est en fait, unique dans les annales du Rock 'n' Roll blanc.
Sonny Burgess
is one of the wildest rockers to record for the legendary Sun label in Memphis.
He and his band the Pacers came out of
Newport, Arkansas, with a hard-rocking style that, unlike that of most
rockabillies, owed little to nothing in the way of a stylistic debt to country
music. With his red-dyed hair, matching stage suit and guitar, and wild stage
performances, Burgess and the Pacers made mincemeat of the competition on many
of the early-'50s rock & roll package tours. Though his Sun releases never
brought him much in the way of commercial success, his recordings nonetheless
remain landmarks of the early rockabilly style. Currently touring and recording
with other Memphis alumni in the Sun Rhythm Section, the rockin' flame that is
Sonny Burgess refuses to be snuffed out.
