Jimmy Spellman, born in 1935 in Ohio, emerged as a pivotal figure in Phoenix's 1950s rockabilly scene. As the first artist signed to Lee Hazlewood's Viv Records in 1955, he collaborated with guitarist Al Casey to produce a series of rockabilly and country tracks, including the notable single "Doggonit." Spellman's contributions earned him induction into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame in 2004. ([music.apple.com](https://music.apple.com/us/artist/jimmy-spellman/424666489?utm_source=openai))
