September 12, 1931 – George Jones was born in Saratoga, Texas. He recorded rockabilly under the name Thumper Jones. In 1959, Jones had his first #1 on the Billboard Country chart with “White Lightnin’,” ironically a more authentic rock and roll sound than his half-hearted rockabilly cuts as “Thumper Jones.” #ROCkabillyHop #HappyBirthday #WhiteLightnin #GeorgeJones #ThePossum #RocHop #OTD #ThumperJones
