“How he pestered and pestered to get recorded is an interesting story in itself.”
That was probably with the RCA label back in ‘51 or ‘52 when he first started out recording. However when he went to the Specialty label, around ‘55, his career changed and started to get crossover attention to the white audiences.
By pestered I meant he kept calling the recording co. and asking did you get my tape, did you get my tape, have you listened to it . . .? It’s my understanding that uo to that point he was scraping by playing at frat dances, etc.
