Rockhouse

Written by: Conway Twitty, Sam Phillips [Sun]

Comments: Harold Jenkins, aka Conway Twitty, auditioned a couple of times at Sun Records but label owner Sam Phillips had little interest. However, a couple of demos were made and in the summer of 1956, one of those sessions produced the demo of "Rockhouse". Phillips was impressed enough with the song and purchased it for his publishing company Hi-Lo.
Seeking for song material for Roy Orbison, who just had a hit with "Ooby Dooby," Phillips relied on "Rockhouse." Orbison took the song and re-worked it. It was hardly the same song anymore and Orbison sorted out much of the lyrics.
