Chanteur Country US né James Robert Owen Atcher , le 11
Mai 1914 à Hardin
County (Kentucky). Bob Atcher est décédé le 31 Octobre 1993.
Bob Atcher
was one of the most popular country music entertainers of the post-World War II
era, enjoying a 21-year career at OKeh and Columbia Records, as well as major
radio stardom on WLS' National Barn Dance out of Chicago. His range of material
ran from traditional country and comic novelty songs to folk.
James Robert Owen Atcher was born and raised in Hardin County, KY, on property
that was later appropriated for Fort Knox. The family, led by his father, a
champion fiddle player, was musical, and he learned both the violin and the
guitar. By the early '30s, he'd made his debut on radio on WHAS out of
Louisville, and over the next few years appeared on several small stations
across the South and Midwest. In 1939, Atcher got his first big break when he
got a regular spot on WGBM in Chicago, a daily program that was picked up
nationally by the CBS radio network. He quickly built a major national following
with his mix of country and novelty songs. He joined the American Record Company
that same year, just in time for the label to be purchased by CBS (which
rechristened it Columbia Records), and passed through the label's OKeh imprint
before going on to Columbia.
During the years 1939-1942, many of Atcher's singles were credited to duos with
Bonnie Blue Eyes (aka Loretta Applegate) — their records together included the
comical "Answer to You Are My Sunshine" and "Pins and Needles (In My Heart)."
Atcher was also joined in the studio on occasion by his younger brother,
Randy Atcher — their singles
together included "Papa's Going Crazy, Mama's Going Mad." Atcher served in the
army during the later part of World War II and resumed his career in 1946. He
charted around that time with "Why Don't You Haul Off and Love Me" and "I Must
Have Been Wrong."
Atcher made his biggest career move in 1948, when he joined the National Barn
Dance on Chicago's WLS. At that time, the National Barn Dance was still one of
the two biggest showcases for country music, and he became one of the show's
most popular stars over the next ten years. He also scored big on the charts
again with "I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes," which became a classic piece
of country comedy. His recording career proceeded apace, with some notable
achievements. In 1948, Atcher cut two of the earliest LPs ever released by
Columbia, a pair of 10" discs devoted to cowboy songs and folk music (Early
American Folk Songs, which contained one of the earliest extant commercial
recordings of "Devilish Mary," a 19th century folk song that would become part
of the repertoire of the members of the Grateful Dead). Atcher left Columbia in
1950 for Capitol Records, and later recorded for Kapp Records. He remained a
star on the National Barn Dance into the 1960s, and later rejoined Columbia
Records. In the interim, the label had reissued the two early LPs of folk music
and cowboy songs on its budget-priced Harmony line, and during his second stint
at Columbia, Atcher re-recorded his classic songs in stereo.
Like Gene Autry before him, Bob Atcher
invested his earnings far outside the recording industry, and by the 1960s he
owned various businesses and had a hand in the banking industry as well, as a
board member of the Schaumberg State Bank in Schaumberg, IL. He also served 20
years as the mayor of Schaumberg, from 1959 until 1979.
