Johnny Burnette is a legend to many rock & roll fans, but his legend is one that is not widely known, since his groundbreaking rockabilly sides of the late '50s weren't hits outside of the South and the hits that he had in the early '60s were as a sweet, slick teen idol.
"You're Sixteen" is a long way away from the wild, careening rockabilly of "The Train Kept a-Rollin'," the best-known song that Burnette And The Rock and Roll Trio recorded for Coral Records during the '50s.
