Burgess was born on a farm nearNewport, Arkansasto Albert and Esta Burgess.[1]He graduated from Newport High School in 1948. In the early 1950s, Burgess playedboogie woogiemusic in dance halls and bars around Newport. Burgess, Kern Kennedy, Johnny Ray Hubbard, and Gerald Jackson formed a boogie-woogie band they called the Rocky Road Ramblers. In 1954, following a stint in theUS Army(195153), Burgess re-formed the band, calling them the Moonlighters after the Silver Moon Club in Newport, where they performed regularly. After advice from record producerSam Phillips, the group expanded to form the Pacers.

The band’s firstrecordwas “We Wanna Boogie” in 1956 forSun Records, inMemphis, about 80 miles southeast of his birthplace. The flip side was “Red Headed Woman.” Both were written by Burgess.[2]The songs have been described as “among the most raucous, energy-filled recordings released during the first flowering of rock and roll.”[3]Their onstage antics in performance were similarly described. Like other artists such asRay Harris, Hayden Thompson,Billy Lee Riley, andWarren Smith, chart success largely eluded him.[4]Burgess disbanded the group in 1971 but later found a new audience in Europe.[5]

Burgess was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame of Europe in 1999. His group, now called The Legendary Pacers, was a hit that same year in a rockabilly concert inLas Vegas, Nevada.
