Chanteur Rockabilly US né le 5 mars 1938 à Bonneville (Mississippi). Hayden Thompson a débuté en 1954 en enregistrant quelques démos pour la radio locale WBIP qui sortiront en 1955 chez Von Records. Puis en 1956, il fait à nouveau des démos à la Sun Records de Memphis (Tennessee) où sera édité un single sur Phillips International. Il passe ensuite chez Beat, Profile, Arlen, Kapp, Brave, Nashville North et Kapp Records. Hayden, devenu conducteur de bus à Chicago (Illinois), connaît depuis les années quatre vingt un regain de notoriété.

Thompson made his recording debut with "I Feel the Blues Coming On" on the Von label in 1954. He signed with Sun in 1956 and recorded the Junior Parker song "Love My Baby" with support from Billy Riley's band and Jerry Lee Lewis. Held back for several months, the single failed to become a hit when it was finally released in 1957; none of his other Sun recordings yielded a hit either. Disappointed by his lack of success, Thompson moved to Chicago in 1958 and recorded for several labels, including B.E.A.T., Arlen, and Kapp. His country-tinged recordings for Kapp enabled him to make a guest appearance on the Opry, but he never achieved the stardom he desired.
