Pat Cupp was born 1938 in Nashville, Ark.
The Flying Saucers included his mother Ruth (piano), J.O. Livsey
(drums), Pete Waller (bass guitar), and Johnny Gatlin (lead guitar).
In April 1956, Cupp was signed to a recording contract with RPM
Records after an appearance on the Louisiana-based television program
Louisiana Hayride.
In May 1956, Cupp and the Flying Saucers recorded "Do Me No Wrong" and
"Baby Come Back" at KWKH Radio in Shreveport, Louisiana.
The songs were released on the group's debut single, which became a
regional hit and was followed by an apex of touring.
However, for Cupp's second single "Long Gone Daddy" record producers
ordered him to record with a R&B group, which consequently performed disappointingly upon release.
Frustrated with the change of his style and backing band, Cupp joined
the U.S. Air Force in 1957 to avoid further commitments outlined on
his recording contract.
After being honorably discharged in 1961, performing became a hobby
for Cupp as he started a career as a technical engineer and married
his high school sweetheart, Loretta Gaye Michael.
