Chanteur Country US né le 23 Juillet 1940 à Hopewell, Cleburne County (Alabama).
Johnny Darrell est décédé le 7 Octobre 1997.
Johnny Darrell was born on July 23,
1940, in Hopewell, AL, but grew up in Marietta, outside of Atlanta. After a
stint in the Army, he moved to Nashville to manage a Holiday Inn. It was in this
way that he made a few music-business contacts. Darrell came to the attention of
United Artists producer Kelso Herston through
Bobby Bare, who had heard about Darrell's curious brand of songwriting
through one such contact. Darrell signed with UA, and issued his first single,
"Green Green Grass of Home," in 1965. A year later, "As Long as the Wind Blows"
made it into the Top 30. 1967 saw "Ruby Don't Take Your Love to Town" find the
Top Ten. The song, written by
Mel Tillis, would later be a hit for
Kenny Rogers, establishing a trend of songs Darrell performed later becoming
country standards recorded by others. "The Son of Hickory Holler's Tramp"
charted in 1968, and Darrell crossed over to the pop charts with "Pen in Hand."
The latter song would eventually be a hit for Vicki Carr.
It's unclear how it happened (his early encounters with
Bobby Bare?), but by the 1970s Darrell had been lumped in with the outlaw
country movement. He joined
Hank Snow,
Willie Nelson,
Nat Stuckey, and
Wes Buchanan at Opry's Party Night, an English concert celebrating the
birthday of the now-defunct Opry magazine. Darrell charted with a few more
singles, including "Dakota the Dancing Bear" and "Orange Blossom Special," but
his career continued to wane. Despite a brief comeback, little was heard from
him during the 1980s. Darrell passed away in 1997. Three years later, the
European indie Raven issued the Darrell retrospective Singin' It Lonesome; the
release included all of Darrell's charting singles.
