BOBBY LORD

Born 6 January 1934, Sanford, Florida

Country / rockabilly singer. Recorded prolifically for Columbia
(1955-1961), Hickory (1962-1967) and Decca (1968-1972).
Like so many country singers, Bobby turned to rockabilly in the
years 1956-1957, when it looked as if rock and roll would wipe
country music off the planet. His best known rockabilly record is
probably "Everybody's Rockin' But Me" (written and originally
recorded by Jack Turner on Hickory). Other recordings in this
vein are "Beautiful Baby", "Fire Of Love", "Sack" and "High Voltage".
However, his biggest hit was a straight country record, "Without
Your Love" (# 10 country, 1956). Bobby had five other entries
in the Billboard country charts during the years 1964-1970.
Bobby Lord's career began on television and he continued to use the
media effectively throughout the fifties (ABC-TV's "Ozark Jubilee",
1955-1960) and sixties (Grand Ole Opry, 1960-1969, and, from
1963, his own country music TV program, The Bobby Lord Show).
Several of his more interesting Columbia recordings were released
on the Demand LP "Everybody's Rockin'". But there is no CD
release as yet, except for songs on scattered compilations.
