Haskell Clyde Stacy (August 11, 1936 – November 6, 2013), known as Clyde Stacy, was an American rockabilly singer and guitarist who recorded in the 1950s as the leader of Clyde Stacy & The Nitecaps. He is credited as a founder of the "Tulsa Sound".
Stacy was born in Eufaula, Oklahoma, on a farm near Checotah, Oklahoma. He started his education at Jenks before moving with his family to Arizona and then, in 1949, to Lubbock, Texas, where he learned guitar and knew Buddy Holly, one year his senior. In 1954, he moved back to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and soon he formed his own group, The Nitecaps, with lead guitarist John D. LeVan.
Stacy was discovered by radio disc jockey Don Wallace, who became his manager and won a contract for Stacy with the Candlelight record label. In 1957, Stacy's first single, "So Young" backed with "Hoy Hoy", reached no. 68 on the Billboard pop chart, and became even more popular in Canada. "So Young" was banned by some radio stations because of the sexy female voice of Pat Peyton overdubbed onto the record by producer Woody Hinderling. Several of Stacy's later records, including "Baby Shame" (1958), originally recorded by Little Willie Littlefield, and "Honky Tonk Hardwood Floor" (1959), also performed better in Canada than in the US, where his only later chart success came when "So Young" briefly re-entered the national pop chart in 1959.
In 1958 he settled in Scranton, Pennsylvania. He continued to perform and tour, opening shows for Elvis Presley, Patsy Cline and others, and appeared on American Bandstand. He also continued to record occasionally until 1963. In 1975, he returned to live in Oklahoma, running a fence company, and also performed at rock and roll festivals across the US and in Europe, on occasions with old friend Leon Russell.
On November 6, 2013, Stacy was killed in a crash when he drove into the back of a truck near his home in Muskogee, Oklahoma. He was 77.

Dale Wright (born Harlan Dale Riffe; February 4, 1938 – April 15, 2007) was an early American rock & roll singer.
Wright was born in Middletown, Ohio. He started his career as a disc jockey in Dayton, Ohio who signed to Fraternity Records after playing a song he'd written on the air. He recorded a sizable body of work for Fraternity in the late 1950s, some of it with backing band The Rock-Its, and hit the Billboard Hot 100 twice in 1958 with the singles "She's Neat" (#38) and "Don't Do it" (#77).[3] By the early 1960s he had been dropped from Fraternity but continued recording for smaller labels well into the decade.
After his success as a singer waned, Wright returned to radio, hosting a talk show on WNVL in Nicholasville, Kentucky for 20 years before becoming program director at sister station WCKU. He died in Lexington, Kentucky on April 15, 2007.   The LP includes a poster of Dale Wright

Ben "Smokey" Hewitt (* September 11, 1935 in Tuscarora; † December 8, 1996 in Maryland) was an American rockabilly musician.
Hewitt was born in 1935 in a wooden cabin on an Indian reservation in Niagara County, New York State. He belonged to the Tuscarora tribe, one of the Iroquois-speaking Indian peoples of North America. At the age of twelve he was given a ukulele as a gift and one year later he got his first guitar.
In addition to country music, rhythm & blues music, which was becoming increasingly fashionable at the time, began to influence the young Hewitt in the early 1950s. Later he also listened to the records of the Sun Records label and Elvis Presley. He and his combo were frequent guests at DeFazios, a small bar in Niagara Falls. It was there that songwriter Julian Langford became aware of them and tried to persuade them to demo his songs. Since the songs written by Langford were in Hewitt's opinion very similar to each other, he started to rewrite them. The only song Hewitt left in the original was the song Whirlwind Blues. There were also some numbers written by Hewitt, such as Queen in the Kingdom of My Heart and Bundle of Love, but these were later credited as Julian Langford songs. Langford paid for the studio and drinks and they recorded a demo with the band. In 1958, a record deal was signed with Mercury Records and a management contract with Langford.  Producer was Clyde Otis, who also worked with artists like Brook Benton, Roy Hamilton and The Five Satins. Otis contributed his own song, I Ain't Givin' Up Nothin' (If I Can't Have Something from You), which he had written together with Brook Benton. Most of the recording sessions took place at Bell Tone Studio, where Hewitt later recorded several demos for Elvis Presley under the direction of Clyde Otis.
In 1961 Hewitt separated from Mercury Records and lost interest in further recordings and record contracts. Later he recorded a live album and the country single Border City Call Girl in 1975.
Even though Ben Hewitt's recordings did not reach any charts, he never turned his back on his music. He continued to perform at DeFazios for decades and was known under his nickname "Smokey". 

When the Rockabilly revival in Europe began in the late 1970s, concerts at major European Rock'n'Roll and Rockabilly festivals followed, at which he was booked as headliner, celebrated as one of the pioneers of the genre.
In 1985, between his European concert dates, Hewitt recorded another LP entitled Ben Hewitt - Tore Up! in a studio in Munich. The accompanying band was the Munich group The Catlegs, and the album was released on the German label Hydra Records. His old recordings and some new ones were also released by bear Family. Ben Hewitt died in Maryland on December 8, 1996 at the age of 61.
