290 Warren Smith (1932-1980) “Miss Froggie” and “So Long, I'm Gone” 1957

A talented singer from Mississippi who was envious of the success of rivals and who never quite lived up to his potential. Sam Phillips said “He was probably the best pure singer for country music I’ve ever heard.” Smith had a minor hit with “So Long, I’m Gone” (by Roy Orbison ), “But it was the flipside, ‘Miss Froggie,’ that has won the enduring love of rockabilly fans” (Good Rockin’ Tonight: Sun Records and the Birth of Rock ‘n’ Roll).
