August 19, 1935 – Al Ferrier was born “Alfous Glenn Ferrier” in Montgomery, Louisiana. Ferrier has been hailed as the “King of Louisiana Rockabilly”. As an opener for the then, relatively unknown, Elvis Presley, Ferrier made a fan out of the late “King” along with many other top acts of the day. #HappyBirthday #AlFerrier #ROCkabillyHop #RocHop @ElvisPresley #Elvis #theKing
