Willis, Hal

Ballad Of A Teenage Queen

Hal Willis and his singing wife Ginger, were Canadian country musicians. When they were hired in 1956 for several tours opening for Elvis Presley, Hal got a taste for it and began to compose and record rockabilly songs. With "My Pink Cadillac" and "Bop-A-Dee Bop-A-Doo" he achieved two classics in this genre. He also successfully composed for other artists such as Patsy Cline, Wilburn Brothers, Charlie Walker, Jim Reeves and Bobby Helms. Along the way, he recorded cover versions of current hits for budget companies, or produced radio programs for the U.S. Army at Sam Phillips Nashville Studio. In the 1960s he finally found success on the charts, where he had his biggest hit with "The Lumberjack". This is the first compilation of Hal Willis' best recordings from the 1950s and 60s, including two unreleased songs.
