WHITEY "DWIGHT" PULLEN (By Klaus Kettner with Tony Wilkinson)

Born Dwight A. Pullen, 5 March 1931, Blountsville, Alabama. Died 24 November 1961, Los Angeles, California.   Popular with teenagers in the fifties were songs about clothing they wore or fashion accessories. Indeed many became hits such as 'Blue Suede Shoes', 'Penny Loafers & Bobby Socks', 'Black Slacks', 'Sack Dress, 'White Bucks And Saddle Shoes', 'Pink Shoelaces', 'Leather Jacket' and 'Black Denim Trousers'. Another similar title was 'Sunglasses After Dark' which sadly failed to ignite the charts but is revered today, long after many of the aforementioned hits mean nothing but fond memories. Indeed, 'Sunglasses' has passed into that select group of discs that are now rightly regarded as rock 'n' roll classics. It is sad that the singer on this disc, 'Whitey' Dwight Pullen, passed away at a young age and thus was unable to observe that he had made a record that stood the test of time. Undoubtedly he would have had the call to appear at the European rockin' festivals.
