#Interestingly After leaving the Army in 1962, Bob Luman moved to Nashville… and locks in: Grand Ole Opry member by 1965, touring constantly and building a country career that didn’t depend on one crossover smash hit. #BobLuman #GlennSutton #OneHitWondered

#Interestingly In 1960, Luman was inducted into the US Army, and while serving his country, Warner Bros. Records released Luman's crossover hit, "Let's Think About Living.” Yeah, he had a #Billboard #Top40 hit while he was still serving in the US Army! #BobLuman #OneHitWondered
#QuickSidenote “All Night Long” was Bob Luman & The Shadows’ 3rd appearance in the 1957 Roger Corman film Carnival Rock… Same singer, same band, but the mood shifts darker and more blues-soaked. #BobLuman #TheShadows #JamesBurton #OneHitWondered
#QuickSidenote Their 2nd appearance was “The Creep,” billed as The Shadows in the film’s credits (although Bob Luman appears on stage). This is the band as an instrumental showcase… some dance-floor fuel, and a neat way for the film to keep momentum going. #TheShadows #BobLuman #OneHitWondered
#QuickSidenote Roger Corman’s Carnival Rock is famous as the moment where James Burton becomes ‘James Burton.’ Bob Luman & The Shadows’ 1st appearance in the film, doing “This Is The Night,” is specifically known as the song that gave Burton the chance to solo’ #BobLuman #JamesBurton #OneHitWondered
#Interestingly Bob Luman appeared in the 1957 Roger Corman teen-exploitation film Carnival Rock…It’s an early filmed snapshot of Luman as a hard-edged rockabilly frontman (before he went ‘all Nashville.’ Three songs were included in the film. Should I include ‘em here? #BobLuman #OneHitWondered
Bassist James Kirkland, Bob Luman, and guitarist James Burton appearing on the Louisiana Hayride
#Interestingly Bob Luman gained some fame on the Louisiana Hayride after Elvis Presley left in 1956. Luman was ‘sort of’ a successor to Presley's high-energy rockabilly style… It was at the Louisiana Hayride that Bob Luman formed his backing band, The Shadows. #TheShadows #BobLuman #OneHitWondered
#Interestingly Bob Luman had legit Texas rockabilly heat in the late 50s… In 1956, he won a Future Farmers of America talent contest & became a regular on the Louisiana Hayride. The legendary radio/television show from Shreveport, Louisiana, was a pipeline for future stars. #BobLuman #OneHitWondered
#OneHitHistory Remembering rockabilly/country singer Bob Luman, who #DOTD in 1978… Bob earned US #OneHitWonder honors in 1960 when his Boudleaux Bryant-penned “Let's Think About Living” spent 9 weeks on the US #Billboard #Top40, peaking at #7. #BobLuman #OneHitWondered
