great balls of fire! Today in rock history, in 1957, Sun Records releases "Great Balls of Fire," written by Otis Blackwell (who penned "Don't Be Cruel" and others for Elvis Presley). By the second week in December, the single is ensconced in the Top Ten on the pop, country and R&B charts. It becomes the best-selling record in Sun's history. My favorite version of this tune is this one done by Johnny Winter And in 1971. Thanks to http://rockhall.com/story-of-rock/ for the info, and keep on rockin'!
