Terry Fell is best known as writer of and the original artist to record the classic "Truck Driving Man." In 1954, Terry had his first record release, "Don't Drop It", make it to the Top 5 and the flip-side, "Truck Driving Man", went on to become an all-time Country favorite. In 1959, while in the U.S. Army in Germany, Fell co-authored 20 lines of a song titled "Mississippi River" with Elvis Presley. The song was never finished or recorded but was sold at auction in 1996 for $30,000. During the late 50's, throat problems helped Fell decide to get out of the business as an artist. Terry continued writing and working with publishing companies.
