[78-L] Some more C&W survivors of the '50s who made 78s (was RE: George Jones)

[Cary Ginell]

Bare recorded for Capitol before doing "All American Boy" for Fraternity, which was not issued in the U.S. on 78. I have seen them on Canadian issues, though. Loudermilk recorded on Colonial as Johnny Dee. I've never seen a Willie Nelson 78, but his first records were in 1959 on the D label - doubtful he was ever on 78. Clark recorded for 4 Star and Coral in the early '50s. Craddock was on Sky Castle and Colonial in '57, I have 78s by Hart on Columbia. Rose Lee Maphis recorded with her husband Joe for OKeh in the early '50s. Tillis started around '57 - I have two Columbia 78s (US issues, no less) by him.
