Wally Lewis (born in Bakersfield, California, United States)[1] is an American country-rockabilly singer and songwriter. His best known tune "Kathleen" reached number 15 on the U.S. pop chart in 1957.[2][3]
Alvis Edgar 'Buck' Owens, also recorded at Tally, as did country singer Bonnie Owens and rockabilly singer Wally Lewis, among other local and regional artists. Lewis's 1957 single, 'Kathleen,' was the studio's greatest commercial success.
They cut two songs that day: Wally Lewis's "Kathleen" and Stewart's composition "One Cup of Coffee (and a Cigarette)." Glenn immediately took the acetate dubs and began shopping them around to all the Los Angeles–area labels.
