We had a good read. For the benefit of yourself. Be sure to read to the end. I want you to get good knowledge from Memphis. Johnny Burnett(e) and his older brother Dorsey had very humble beginnings growing up in the identical public housing project in Memphis, Tn that Elvis Presley had lived. Together they ultimately formed a group called The Rock and Roll Trio with a friend named Paul Burlison that met with some moderate success even winning a few times on Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour, but life on the road ended the life of this trio. Johnny and Dorsey began writing songs, and they even traveled to Los Angeles with the express intent of trying to sell a few to the current vocal rage at the time, Ricky Nelson. They succeeded in selling Ricky on "It's Late", "Waitin' in School", and a few others, but they both wanted to sing again on their own. Johnny finally got a recording contract with Liberty Records, and under the guidance of record producer Snuff Garrett, "You're Sixteen" was born. The song itself was composed by the Sherman Brothers (Richard and Robert) who would go on to much fame from their association with the Disney studio, and in particular their musical score for "Mary Poppins". "You're Sixteen" peaked at #18 in November of 1960, and this would be Johnny's only Top 10 hit in a career shortened by a tragic boating accident which ended his life in 1964.
