Weldon Nelson Rogers (October 30, 1927 - September 13, 2004) was an American songwriter, singer of country and rockabilly, radio disc jockey, and record producer. He co-founded Je–Wel Records with Chester Oliver to produce, as Je-Wel's first record, the first record for The Teen Kings in 1956. Rogers was born in Marietta, Oklahoma, United States. The members of the The Teen Kings were: *Roy Orbison (1936–1988) – vocals, guitar〔Roy Orbison, Wink High School, Class of 1955〕 *Jack Kennelly (1937–2009) – upright bass〔Jack Desmond Kennelly, later known in Hollywood as Jackson D. Kane (born June 30, 1937 Madera County, California; died October 9, 2009 Littleton, Colorado)〕 *Peanuts Wilson (1935–1980) – rhythm guitar〔Peanuts Wilson, ''né'' Johnny Ancil Wilson (born November 28, 1935 Rivesville, West Virginia; died September 1980)〕〔''ASCAP Biographical Dictionary, Fourth edition'', compiled for the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers by Jaques Cattell Press, R.R. Bowker, New York (1980)〕 *James Emitt Morrow (born 12 Jan 1936 West Point, Arkansas) – electric mandolin (played through an Echoplex)〔James Morrow, Wink High School, Class of 1955〕 *Billy Pat Ellis – drums〔Billy Pat Ellis, Wink High School, Class of 1954〕 The Teen Kings first record (and Orbison's first recording) was: * Je-Wel 101 : Side A: "Trying To Get You", by Charles Singleton and Rose Marie McCoy : Side B: "Ooby Dooby", by Wade Moore and Dick Penner ==Selected discography== Original releases ---- :† While living in California, Rogers landed a recording contract with Imperial Records, but, in doing so, he presented Orbison's recording of ''Trying To Get To You'' as his own. Lewis Robert Chudd (1911–1998) of Imperial agreed for Weldon to again record at Norman Petty's studio backed up by The Teen Kings, who, in December 1956, had split from Orbison. Four sides were laid down including ''So Long, Good Luck, Goodbye'' (which was composed on the drive to the session). This side was selected for release along with a re-recording of ''Trying To Get To You''. When the record was issued, there was a snafu. Imperial company used Orbison's version but credited Rogers. There then arose a series of disagreements between Rogers and Chudd that led to a cessation of Imperial releases of Rogers. Rogers asked for, and got, a release from his contract.〔Tony Wilkinson, "Biography of Weldon Rogers〕 Re-releases Re-releases via MP3 downloads 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Weldon Rogers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
