Connie Dycus recorded his first rockabilly record in 1958 for Mercury Records. Managed by Jim Minor and Bob Cloud of Mayflower Music of Flint, Mi, Dycus got on Mercury through Jim and Bobs contacts though Shelby Singleton told Colin Escott that Dycus was some bum I got out of Arkansas In Oct. of 1957 Shelby Singleton was hired by Mercury records to be their Southern promo man. Colin Escott is a famous country music historian/author who lives in Nashville. In 1958 Jim and Bob were working for General Motors in Flint as well was Dycus and they all met and Jim and Bob heard his singing and signed Dycus to their publishing company. Mercury did very little to promote Rockabilly then. Mercury didnt use this great song and Jim and Bob released it in 1959 on their record label Colt 45 Records. Rockabilly recorded in 1958 in the Rca Studio B. Audio from the Jim Minor Everest recording company master safety reel to reel tape. https://youtube/watch?v=jocUUWwaYWY
