Cover House of Hits: the Story of Houston's Gold Star/sugarhill Recording Studios (Brad And Michele Moore Roots Music)
The fi rst D Records national hit was “Talk to Me Lonesome Heart” (#1006), the fl ip side of “Changeable,” both recorded by James O’Gwynn in June 1958.
This classic country tearjerker reached number sixteen on the Billboard charts.
Having fi rst recorded for the Nucraft and Azalea labels, O’Gwynn had next released one single for Starday. However, with the subsequent dissolution of Daily’s Starday interest, O’Gwynn was a free agent. He says, “I then signed with D Records in 1958. I had two hit r
...ecords with D and made my debut on the Grand Ole Opry with the help of Jim Reeves. I then moved to Nashville in 1961.” O’Gwynn’s second D Records hit was “Blue Memories.” Backed with “You Don’t Want to Hold Me” (#1022), it peaked at number twenty-eight on the national charts.
Other notables in the early D Records–Gold Star Studios collaboration include Eddie Noack, who temporarily betrayed his country roots and cut the rockabilly sides “My Steady Dream” and “Can’t Play Hookey”
