Chanteur Country US né John Wayne Conlee, le 11 Août 1946 à Versailles (Kentucky).
One of the most
respected vocalists to emerge during the urban cowboy era, John Conlee was known
for his superb taste in material and his distinctively melancholy voice. Conlee
was born and raised on a tobacco farm in Versailles, KY, in 1946, and took up
the guitar as a child, performing on local radio at age ten. He went on to sing
with the town barbershop chorus, but didn't initially pursue music as a career,
instead becoming a licensed mortician. He also worked as a disc jockey at
numerous area radio stations, and made important industry connections via that
area when he moved to Nashville in 1971. Five years later, Conlee's demo tape
got him a contract with ABC. He released a few singles, but didn't find
acceptance until 1978's "Rose Colored Glasses," a song he'd co-written with a
newsman at his radio station, rocketed into the country Top Five. Conlee spent
the next decade or so scoring hit after hit, nearly all of them helmed by
producer Bud Logan. He had two number ones in 1979 alone -- "Lady Lay Down" and
"Backside of Thirty" -- and four number two hits through 1981, which included
"Before My Time," "Friday Night Blues," "She Can't Say That Anymore," and "Miss
Emily's Picture." Conlee returned to the top of the charts three times over
1983-1984 with "Common Man," "I'm Only in It for the Love," and "In My Eyes,"
and had his last number one in 1986 with "Got My Heart Set on You." All
told, Conlee made the Top Ten 19 times through 1987, when he moved from MCA to
Columbia and reached the Top Five with "Domestic Life." Never much for touring,
Conlee subsequently curtailed his recording activities as well, instead devoting
his time to charity work (often on behalf of American farmers), raising his
family, and running his own farm outside Nashville.
