225 Roy Orbison (1936-1988) “Ooby Dooby” and “(Cat Called) Domino” 1956

“Envying the success of his fellow Odessa student Pat Boone and that of Elvis Presley, both at that time riding the crest of early rock ’n’ roll popularity, Orbison transformed his group into the Teen Kings, a rockabilly-oriented rock ’n’ roll band. With the assistance of Norman Petty, a frequent collaborator of fellow Texan Buddy Holly who later also composed with Orbison, he recorded “Ooby Dooby,” a song composed by two upperclassmen at North Texas State” (American National Biography).
