Johnny Burnette Voice Your Choice

Voice Your Choice returns to Treasure Island Oldies for 2008 with Johnny Burnette. He was born December 29, 1932 and sadly died at the young age of 30 in a boating accident on Clear Lake in California on August 1, 1964. Johnny, along with his brother Dorsey Burnette and Paul Burlison formed the Johnny Burnette Rock 'N Roll Trio from 1953-57. Johnny and Dorsey recorded Green Grass Of Texas as The Texans. The song peaked at 100 on the Billboard chart on March 27, 1961.

As a solo performer, Johnny had three major hits, two of which are available this week for your votes on Voice Your Choice: Dreamin' and You're Sixteen. Which song do you prefer?
