Born in Minden, Louisiana, on August 21, 1939, James Burton began playing guitar at the age of thirteen, and turned professional the following year. His first recorded track was the Dale Hawkins hit, "Susie Q", in 1957. His dynamic rockabilly style of playing brought him to the attention of television star-turned-singer Ricky Nelson, who hired Burton as his regular band member. Apart from this high profile exposure on all of Nelson's hit records, James Burton became one of the most in-demand Los Angeles session guitarists during the 1960s, playing on recordings by artists, ranging from Frank Sinatra to The Monkees, as well as regularly appearing on the popular music show, Shindig! (1964).
It was at the end of the decade that Elvis Presley, recently returned to live performing, was in the process of putting together a band for his Las Vegas shows. Elvis knew a remarkable talent when he heard one, and hired James Burton as lead guitarist of his band. This lasted until Presley's death in 1977, and James Burton can be seen appearing with Elvis in the movies, Elvis: That's the Way It Is (1970), Elvis on Tour (1972) and the television satellite-broadcasted, Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii (1973).
James Burton has, since then, worked with many other artists, and is regarded, amongst guitar players, as a legendary figure whose skill and technique has always been balanced by his consummate restraint and good taste.- Actor

R&B singer/songwriter Percy Mayfield was born August 21, 1920 in Minden, Louisiana. His mother was a singer. Percy showed a real talent for poetry as a youth; this naturally led to him writing and singing his own songs. Mayfield started his musical career performing in Texas. He moved to Los Angeles, California in 1941 and lived with his sister before his career took off. In 1947 he recorded "Two Years of Torture" for the small Swing Time label; it sold well enough to persuade music producer Arthur Rupe to sign Percy to his Specialty Records label in 1950. Noted for his smooth vocal style and sharp and thoughtful lyrics, Mayfield had a #1 hit on the R&B charts with the mournful number "Please Send Me Someone To Love" that same year.
In 1952 Percy was seriously injured in an automobile accident which left him with a severe facial disfigurement that limited his ability to perform live. However, he soldiered on as a prolific songwriter. Among his most memorable compositions are "Lost Love," "What a Fool Was I," "Cry Baby," "Big Question," "Hide Nor Hair," "At The Club," and "Danger Zone." Percy hit paydirt with the extremely catchy and sassy "Hit The Road Jack", which became a massive smash for Ray Charles in 1961 (it peaked at #1 on the US Billboard pop charts for two weeks). Mayfield worked for the Chess label from 1955-56 and Imperial Records in 1957. He continued to pen minor R&B chart hits throughout the 1970s for RCA and Atlantic and performed live on a limited basis.
He died of a heart attack at age 63 at his home in Los Angeles, California on August 11, 1984.- Peter Hahne was born on 9 November 1952 in Minden, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. He is an actor, known for Der Bankraub (2015), Kennen Sie Deutschland? (2009) and Peter Hahne (2010).
