| | Ray Sharpe Ray is an American Rockabilly pioneer, singer, guitarist and song writing icon. He grew up influenced by country as well as blues music, and many of his recordings are classed as rockabilly – he was described by one producer Major Bill Smith as "the greatest white-sounding black dude ever". His recording career started in Phoenix in 1958, when Lee Hazlewood produced his single "That's the Way I Feel / Oh, My Baby's Gone". His second record, "Linda Lu / Monkey’s Uncle" – both sides written by Sharpe, and featuring Duane Eddy and Al Casey on guitars was a mainstay on the Billboard charts in 1959. Sharpe’s songs have subsequently been recorded by many artists including the Rolling Stones, Flying Burrito Brothers, and Tom Jones, Neil Young, and he continues to release records as well as performing regularly in the Fort Worth area. | | Featured Music “Linda Lu”See list of “Linda Lu” performers on allmusicguide.com
