Mr Phillips had so much more good stuff in the can i cant see how he released this. Except for the Sax this should be trashed.

Who was Johnny Powers? Never heard of him and I've lived through the ENTIRE rock'n'roll era. By the way, Powers doesn't sound bad at all--sort of like a pre-Elvis. But maybe it's just that famous "Sun sound?" And the second song in this video sounds like Elvis's "Too Much." Did Powers precede or succeed Elvis?

[Johi2410]

He recorded between 57 and 59. So maybe this promo record is from 56 or so. Elvis started recording in 53, so actually Powers maybe hadn't got a very big career boost because Elvis had done songs like his before already.

[northlight1908]

This one is from '59.

Johnny Powers was/is from Detroit and he's still actively performing. "Honey Let's Go (To A Rock And Roll Show)"/"Your Love" came out in '57 (Fortune 199); followed by his regional hit "Long Blond Hair, Rose Red Lips" (b/w "Rock Rock") on the Fox label in 1958. This Sun single followed. Powers is the only artist to record for three legendary labels: Fortune, Sun, and Motown.

[Johi2410]

Thanks, interesting info!

[mikeystrafford]

This audio is from my Johnny Powers Promo Sun Record. I bought it in Cleveland, OH for only 10 dollars.

The songs are 'With your love, With your kiss' and 'Be mine, All mine'.
