Country
and rockabilly performer Glenn Barber was born in Hollis, OK, on February 2,
1935. From there, he and his family moved to Pasadena, TX, where the young
Barber showed an early interest in music. Originally a guitar player, he also
took up bass, drums, dobro, and mandolin. He first appeared on wax with the 1952
Stampede single "You Took the Twinkle Out of My Stars"; by 1954, he had a
contract with the Starday label. Over the next few years, Barber would release
numerous countrified rockabilly singles on the label, the last being issued in
1956, just as rock & roll was sweeping the country. From there, he and manager
Pappy Dailey traveled to the D imprint, which issued four Barber singles during
the remainder of the 1950s.
As the '60s arrived, Barber became a disc jockey and featured performer on
Houston's KIKK. He and his band, the Western Swingmasters, appeared on the
station five nights a week until 1968, when he signed with the Nashville outfit
Hickory. There he made his full-length debut with 1970's A New Star.
While with Hickory, Barber charted four times, taking songs like "Kissed By the
Rain, Warmed By the Sun" (1969) and "Unexpected Goodbye" (1972) all the way to
the Top 30. Another Hickory single, "She Cheats on Me," would later be recorded
by Roy Orbison. Barber jumped to MMI in
1979, and penned the hit "Everyone Wants to Disco." It was his last charting
single, and Barber turned to other interests in the 1980s and '90s, including
painting and screenwriting.
Glenn passed away on March 28, 2008.
