Yeah, but I can't remember what he did. Was it him or his brother Johnny who did "You're Sixteen," which was later covered by Ringo Starr? And then there's "Dreaming," which is another one, now that I think about it, that I can't remember which Burnett brother did...
I remember him from 'the rock'n'roll trio'with Johnny ,other singer slipped my mind. Middle 50's Rockabilly.
I'd forgot about 'tall Oak tree' until Oakie mentioned it
