Chanteur Country US né John David Carver, le 24 novembre 1940 à Jackson
(Mississippi). Johnny Carver a débuté en 1967 chez Imperial, il passe ensuite
chez Epic (71-72) et ABC-DOT Records à partir de 1973.
Country-pop
singer Johnny Carver enjoyed his greatest popularity during the '70s, when he
occasionally hit with countrified versions of soft pop smashes. Carver grew up
in a rural area near Jackson, MS, and sang in a local country gospel quartet
with his family. He went on to form his own band, the Capital Cowboys, which
were sponsored by an ice-cream company. Carver embarked on his first national
tour in 1959, playing at clubs and fairs, and moved to Los Angeles in 1965,
where he made regular appearances on local television and led the house band at
the Palomino club. His composition "New Lips" was recorded by
Roy Drusky in 1967, and Carver landed
his own record deal with Imperial. His self-titled debut album was released
later that year, and contained the minor hit "Your Lily White Hands"; he had a
few more modest successes with country-pop offerings like 1968's "I Still Didn't
Have the Sense to Go" and 1969's "That's Your Hang Up." In 1972, he moved to ABC
and had a major country hit with a version of Tony Orlando & Dawn's "Tie a
Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree." A string of Top 40 country hits followed
over the next five years, including the Top Tens "You Really Haven't Changed"
(1973), "Don't Tell (That Sweet Old Lady of Mine)" (1974), and another country
cover of a pop hit, the Starland Vocal Band's "Afternoon Delight" (1976).
Carver's last Top 40 hit was 1977's "Living Next Door to Alice," and his final
charting single was a 1981 cover of ABBA's "S.O.S." He subsequently became a
regular performer in Branson, MO.
