Chanteur Country US né le 17
Mars 1955 à Newton (Mississippi).
Paul
Overstreet was one of the most successful songwriters in contemporary country
music, penning hits for artists like
George Jones,
Randy Travis,
Tanya Tucker, and
Marie Osmond, as well as scoring hits on his own. He wrote his first songs
as a boy in Newton, Mississippi. In 1973, he graduated from high school and
headed for Nashville, where he played in country bands at night and worked blue-collar
jobs during the day. Despite his efforts, Overstreet couldn't break into the
industry.
Eventually, his songs were being recorded by other, more established artists. In
1982, his "Same Ole Me" was recorded by
George Jones, who took the song to number five. That same year, Overstreet
had his first charting single, when "Beautiful Baby" climbed to number 76. Three
years later,
the Forrester Sisters took his "I Fell in Love Again Last Night" -- which he
co-wrote with Thom Schuyler -- to number one. Later in 1985,
Randy Travis had hits with two Overstreet compositions -- "On the Other
Hand" (which was co-written with Don Schlitz) and "Diggin' Up Bones," the
singer's first number one hit.
Tanya Tucker,
Marie Osmond, and Paul Davis also had success with Overstreet songs that
year.
Overstreet became a full-fledged recording artist in 1986 when he teamed up with
Schuyler and Fred Knobloch to form SKO, which scored a number one hit with "Baby's
Got a New Baby." In 1987, Overstreet scored one of his biggest songwriting hits
when he provided
Randy Travis with "Forever and Ever, Amen." As his string of hits for other
artists continued, Overstreet released his 1989 debut album, Sowin' Love, which
made it to the Top 40 and produced a few hits. His second album, Heroes, came
out in 1991 and stayed on the charts for nearly a year. When his third album,
1992's Love Is Strong, was a commercial disappointment, Overstreet shifted his
focus to writing more religious material and began recording with
Susie Luchsinger, the sister of
Reba McEntire. The Overstreet LP Time was released in February 1996. Living
by the Book and the holiday album Christmas: My Favorite Time of the Year
appeared five years later, followed by Forever and Ever Amen in 2005 and
Something for the Road in 2008.
