James Faye "Roy" Hall (May 7, 1922 – March 3, 1984), also known by his pseudonym "Sunny David", was an American rockabilly pianist and songwriter.

Although he is often stated to have learned the piano from a local blues player who also turned Hall into a drunkard by his early teens,[2] he was actually first introduced to the instrument by his mother.

After performing in his home town, Hall accompanied Uncle Dave Macon in 1933 in a traveling broadcast for the Grand Ole Opry.

[5][2] The single became a jukebox favorite in the Midwest; however, its followups, which delved more into traditional country music, failed to match the initial success produced by "Dirty Boogie".

[6] The Cohutta Mountain Boys' popularity earned them, briefly, a supporting role for singer Tennessee Ernie Ford in Nashville.

Though his account has been disputed, Hall said:We was down in Pahokee, on Lake Okeechobee.. out on a dam pond, fishin' and milkin' snakes .. drinkin' wine, mostly..

Jerry Lee Lewis achieved a number 3 hit in 1957 with "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On", instantly launching him into national prominence.
