Otis Blackwell wrote some of the greatest hits of the early Rock N Roll era including “Great Balls of Fire” for Jerry Lee Lewis and “Don’t Be Cruel” and “All Shook Up” for Elvis Presley. Blackwell’s first song to become a classic came in 1955 with “Fever” by Little Willie John and later a bigger smash for Peggy Lee. He was also a piano player and recorded many songs himself. His 1955 single “Let the Daddy Hold You,” released on JAY-DEE Records can now sell for $1,000.00. In 1956 Davis Records released the album “Singin’ the Blues” by Otis Blackwell. A copy is also worth up to $1,000.00 today. Find a complete listing of all our record guides by clicking on “All Products” in the yellow strip at the top of the page.
