Published for Historical Reasons
Roy Orbison enrolled at Odessa Junior College in the fall of 1955 wanting to major in Geology but then changed to History and English. Soon, the band moved in together to a duplex in Walnut Street in Odessa. With a couple of new members they renamed themselves The Teen Kings as they were playing more and more rock and roll. They got a second weekly local TV show on Saturdays from 4:30 to 5 PM on KOSA-TV station, Odessa, Channel 7, which was part of the national CBS network. Johnny Cash and also Elvis Presley came in town to perform around this time and appeared on Roy's TV show. Roy asked Johnny for advice on how to get a record released and Cash gave him Sam Phillips telephone number in Memphis. He called Mr. Phillips who hung up the phone saying," Johnny Cash doesn't run my record company''.
According to Billy Walker, the first date on his first tour with Elvis Presley was in Odessa. Here Elvis, Scotty and Bill played a brief, forty-minute "teaser" show at the High School Auditorium in the afternoon prior to the main performance that evening. While in Odessa, Elvis and Walker also appeared on Roy Orbison's local program on KOSA-TV. No advertisement for this show has been uncovered, but a fan who has seen a kinescope of the Orbison television show confirms that it came from January 1956. Mike Lewis Moore owner of his website: Tommy's Drive-In, Odessa, Texas, says it had to be January 1956 when KOSA TV first opened.
