## Summary

Sonny Burgess was born in Newport, Arkansas in 1929. He formed his band The Pacers in 1955 with Jack Nance and Billy Burnette, and they caught the ear of Sun Records founder Sam Phillips. At Sun, Burgess released rockabilly singles like "We Wanna Boogie" and "Red Headed Woman." His 1957 recording "Restless" became his signature track, with its frantic guitar work and Burgess's distinctive yodel. Other songs from that period...
