Bobby Poe

Based on the music of the old standard "Chattanooga Shoe Shine Boy", "Rock and Roll Record Girl" was at first blocked from release by Wesley Rose of Acuff-Rose because of that fact.

Instead, Dallas, Texas radio personality Jim Lowe stepped in and released the single on his White Rock Records label.

After one more single for Jim Lowe's White Rock Records entitled "Piano Nellie", under the name of Bobby Brant and The Rhythm Rockers (which was shortly thereafter picked up and re-released by EastWest Records), Bobby Poe gave up his career as an artist to become an artist manager.

Vernon Sandusky went on to play guitar in Country Music Hall of Famer Roy Clark's band for over 20 years.

After new owners bought the Opry building, Mr. Poe continued to promote Country music concerts around Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas until 2005.

Though his cancer was in remission, he grew steadily weaker during his recovery and suffered a fatal blood clot on the aforementioned date.
