Published for Historical Reasons

Sam Phillips failed to renew Johnny Carroll's one-session contract and the singer remained in Dallas under the care of Ed McLemore, a new manager who also booked acts on to KRLD's Big D Jamboree. Carroll met Gene Vincent in McLemore's office at the Dallas Sportatorium. He was impressed with Vincent's intense, even dysfunctional lifestyle and mightily influenced by his singing, especially those shimmering, high-voiced ballads like ''Peace Of Mind''. The two men became fast friends and for a while their lack of good fortune was intertwined. Carroll stayed at Vincent's house in Dallas, drove him around and went on tour with Vincent when he wasn't working himself.
