Although he would become a big Country star in the 1970s and 80s, singer/songwriter DICKEY LEE started out as a heads-down Rock'n'Roller in the 1950s.
His first release, 'Stay True Baby', is nowadays a hugely collectable R&R rarity, as are the two 45s he cut for Sun Records in 1957/58, 'Good Lovin'' / 'Memories Never Grow Old' and 'Dreamy Nights' / 'Fool, Fool, Fool'.
Dickey eventually registered with a controversial death disc, 'Patches', in 1962, which he followed with the hit album, 'The Tale Of Patches', the superlative, Dion-inspired, 'I Saw Linda Yesterday', and the popcorn 'Don't Wanna Think About Paula'.
