Happy Birthday, James Burton!
“While I was in the studio recording Roy Orbison’s IN DREAMS: GREATEST HITS album, I was asked to perform with the TCB Band on the BLACK AND WHITE NIGHT. In my opinion this was one of the greatest moments in music history. Every time I watch the video from that night, I see something new and different. It takes me right back to that time. I knew after the show that night that music magic had been created. It was one of the highlights of my career.”
