Hayden Thompson

Hayden Thompson was among the groundswell of rockabilly cats who recorded for Sam Phillips’ legendary Sun Records in the wake of the label’s breakthrough superstar, Elvis Presley. His lone Sun effort, “Love My Baby,” remains a cult favorite among connoisseurs of early rock & roll at its most potent. Thompson was born in Booneville, Mississippi, on March 5, 1938. According to a profile on the Rockabilly Hall of Fame website, he was given his first guitar at age five, quickly teaching himself to play. A fixture of local talent contests, he made his local radio debut at nine, originally singing gospel but in time turning to country. Memphis-based rhythm & blues stations WDAI and KWEM profoundly shaped Thompson’s musical development as well, and in high school he formed his first band, the Southern Melody Boys, playing energetic covers of current country & western hits. In late 1954, the group signed to the fledgling Von label to cut its debut single, “I Feel the Blues Coming On,” inching toward a rockabilly sound

Rock around the block: How Hayden Thompson caught up with rockabilly stardom

By Mark Guarino

Last month, as most seniors in the Chicago suburbs might have been planning for holiday celebrations or retreating to Florida to escape the pending winter, Hayden Thompson walked onstage in France, turned up his guitar, and made the 1,000 or so people in the audience shake, rattle and roll.

He later signed autographs, posed for pictures and met the major of Autun, a city 100 miles Southeast of Paris. “They rolled out the red carpet,” he said. “You left there feeling like a million dollars.”

Thompson, 67, is only today enjoying the fruits of a life he set out to create in 1956, when he recorded for Sun Records, the Memphis label that should have made him a star like it did other wild Southern mavericks like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis. It is a career path that has required a lifetime of patience.
