  RAB Hall of Fame: Dale Hawkins
Hawkins is best known for writing and recording "Suzy Q", a 1957 release that was a hit on both the R&B and pop charts.
Born and reared in rural Richalnd Parish, Hawkins absorbed blues, country music and gospel; like his contemporaries Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis, he distilled these diverse, yet related influences into a cohesive personal style.
But Hawkins personalized it into a tale of a sultry siren, propelled by a catchy lick laid down by guitar virtuoso James Burton, who was only 15 when "Suzy Q" was recorded.

Dale Hawkins was one of the earliest exponents of rockabilly, and this underrated singer-guitarist was discovered in 1955 by Shreveport record distributor Stan Lewis and signed by the Chicago-based Chess Records label.
Among his earliest singles was the Bobby Charles composition "See You Soon Baboon", an answer record to Bill Haley's "See You Later Alligator' (which was also written by Charles), but Hawkins' biggest hit was the excellent Howlin" Wolf-influenced "Suzie-Q", with Roy Buchanan on lead guitar.
It reached the US Top 30 in 1957 and was later covered by numerous artists, including the Everly Brothers, the Rolling Stones and Creedence Clearwater Revival, for whom the song was a Top 20 hit in 1968.
