HANK THOMPSON

Hallo Sammlerkollegen,
ein wahrer Klassiker (wird auch heute noch - genau wie Mama Guitar - auf fast
jeden 50's Record Hop aufgelegt) ist der Titel "Rockin' in the Congo" von Hank Thompson.

Diese schöne Aufnahme gab es auch in deutschen Landen zu kaufen:

Hank Thompson - Rockin' In The Congo / I Was The First One / Capitol F 3623 / 1957

Eine tolle R+R Single! Die Rückseite ist eine Country-Nummer.

rockige Grüße,

Der Country-Sänger Hank Thompson wurde am 3. September 1925 in Waco, Texas, als Henry William Thompson geboren und verstarb am 6. November 2007 in Fort Worth, Texas, an Lungenkrebs. Sein erstes Instrument war die Mundharmonika. Da er aber von den singenden Cowboys in den B-Movies so begeistert war sparte er sich Geld zusammen, um sich eine billige Gitarre zu kaufen. Bei seinen Auftritten imitierte er diese "Cowboys". Nach der Ableistung seines Militärdienstes fing er an auch selbst Songs zu schreiben die er dann bei seinen Auftritten vortrug. Tex Ritter hörte ihn im Radio und holte ihn 1947 zu CAPITOL, wo seine sehr lange Musik-Karriere begann
Seine Singles bis 1962:
