Chanteuse
Country US née le 20 Février 1951 à Morristown (New Jersey). Kathie Baillie a
fait parti de groupe Baillie & the
Boys.
Country
singer Kathie Baillie had a long and successful career in the music along the
way to the release of her first solo album in 2007. Kathie Baillie was born in
Morristown, NJ, in 1951, and spent most of her childhood in Orange, CT; her
parents encouraged her youthful enthusiasm for music, and when she was a
teenager she started performing at local coffeehouses and school functions,
playing acoustic guitar and singing folk and singer/songwriter-oriented material.
In 1973, Baillie met fellow singer and guitarist Michael Bonagura, and the two
hit it off both personally and musically; they began playing folk clubs together,
and would eventually marry. Baillie and Bonagura added their friend Alan LeBeouf
to the act, forming an acoustic pop trio called Bittersweet; the band worked
steadily on the East Coast club circuit and scored a record deal with the
Atlantic-distributed Big Tree Records label, though they also did session and
jingle work, putting the skillful harmonies to work to help pay the bills. In
1982, Baillie and Bonagura relocated to Nashville after Baillie had landed some
gigs singing backup on country sessions in Music City; after adding harmonies to
recordings by Randy Travis,
Moe Bandy, and
Lynn Anderson, Baillie and Bonagura
became a trio again when LeBeouf joined them in Nashville, and Bittersweet began
earning a potent reputation in Nashville. After playing a number of live shows,
Bittersweet came to the attention of RCA Records, who signed the group to a
recording contract in 1985 and changed their name to
Baillie and the Boys. The group's
first single was released in 1986; "Oh Heart" became a hit, and
Baillie and the Boys became a
consistent presence on country radio for the next several years.
Baillie and the Boys' near-constant
road work led LeBeouf to quit the group after 1989's Turn the Tide, though he
would return for their 2000 release The Road That Led Me to You, which found the
group recording for their own label, Synergy Records. In 1991, Baillie began to
step out on her own as a television personality, co-hosting the Music City News
Awards telecast, and also became a regular host and performer on Yesteryear, a
show on The Nashville Network. While the demands of parenthood took priority for
Baillie in the late '90s (her teenage daughter Alyssa Bonagura has launched her
own career as a singer and actress), in 2007 she finally released her first solo
album, Love's Funny That Way, produced by Michael Bonagura and featuring guest
appearances from Vince Gill and
Paulette Carlson of
Highway 101.
