Rockabilly Hall of Fame
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rockabilly Hall of Fame was established on March 21, 1997 to present early rock and roll history and information relative to the artists and personalities involved in this pioneering American music genre.
Headquartered in a former recording studio in Burns, Tennessee, about 30 miles west of Nashville, the first induction certificate was issued on November 16th, 1997 for singer Gene Vincent. The creation of Bob Timmers, the not-for-profit entity maintains an Internet website that is supported in part by the fans and artists of the music it represents.
Among those recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame are pioneer singers, songwriters, disc jockeys and promoter/producers such as Sun Records owner Sam Phillips.
