A Look at Burns' Songwriting

Guy Howard Gaiton died in 1977, and the top notes were so obscure that his obituaries focused on his time in one of the later touring versions of the platters. The top note soon split up, making no real further mark on the industry. Luther Dickson at wand records heard one of Burns' demos, and decided he should be singing, not just writing songs. He was signed to wand records as a solo artist, under the name Russell Bird,. His first single for the label was produced by Dickson.
