Titus Turner

Biography Turner was born in Atlanta, Georgia. A year later he recorded eight tracks for Okeh Records, including "Got So Much Trouble". He then recorded for Wing, an imprint of Mercury Records, but he was not commercially successful until 1955, when Little Willie John recorded Turner's "All Around the World". Another version, retitled "Grits Ain't Groceries", was by Little Milton. His final release was a song he wrote, "His Funeral, My Trial", in 1969. - Marie Knight (1956), Gale Storm (1956), The Crew-Cuts (1956), Elvis Presley (1966)
