Thomas Earl Petty (born October 20, 1950 in Gainesville, Florida) is an American musician. Petty did not have any musical aspirations before Elvis Presley visited his hometown.

Still, it took America a full year to catch up to the album. "Breakdown" was re released to radio and became a Top 40 hit in 1977 after word filtered back the band was creating a firestorm in England.
