Another 'rejected' subject from the Rock 'n' Roll series. Along with his older brother Dorsey, Johhny Burnette was an early rockabilly pioneer. The brothers wrote a number of songs for Rick Nelson including the very wonderful 'It's Late', but Johnny Burnette is perhaps best remembered for the single 'You're Sixteen', a hit record in 1960. He died in a boating accident in 1964, aged just 30.
