Chanteur Country US né Clint Patrick Black le 4 Février 1962 à Long Branch (New Jersey).
A country
music traditionalist from Texas, Clint Black was one of the first artists to
kick-start the mass-market popularity of country in the '90s. Black is also one
of the first artists of a generation that was equally inspired by rock-oriented
pop — like '70s singer/songwriters and '60s rock & roll — as well as country
artists like Merle Haggard,
Bob Wills, and
George Jones. He offered a shiny,
marketable version of traditional country and in the process paved the way for a
new generation of country artists, particularly
Garth Brooks. After
Brooks broke through into the pop
mainstream, Black's career began to fade somewhat, but he remained one of the
most popular and acclaimed vocalists of the '90s.
Black was born in New Jersey but raised in Katy, TX, a suburb of Houston. As a
child, he listened to both country and rock & roll, but he didn't begin playing
guitar until the age of 13, when he started playing harmonica. Two years later,
he began writing songs, as well as performing in his brother Kevin's band, where
he played bass and sang. In the early '80s, he began busking on the streets of
Katy, eventually working his way into coffeehouses, bars, and nightclubs.
In 1987, Clint met Hayden Nicholas, a guitarist and songwriter who had a home
studio. Nicholas and Black began collaborating together, writing songs and
recording demos; Nicholas would become the bandleader for Black, playing lead
guitar and co-writing a large majority of his hit singles. A tape of their songs
made its way to Bill Ham, the manager of ZZ Top. Impressed with the tape, Ham
became Black's manager; the singer had a contract with RCA Nashville by the end
of 1988.
"A Better Man," Black's first single, was released early in 1989 and it went to
number one — he was the first new male country artist to have a number one hit
with his debut single in 15 years. Black was an immediate sensation throughout
country music and he played the Grand Ole Opry in April, one month before his
debut album, Killin' Time, was released. Killin' Time was an
immediate hit, going gold within six months and spawning four other hit singles,
including the number ones "Killin' Time," "Nobody's Home," and "Walkin' Away."
At the end of 1989, he won the Country Music Association's Horizon Award, as
well that organization's Best Male vocalist Award. He also won Best Album, Best
Single, Best Male vocalist, and Best New Male vocalist awards from the Academy
of Country Music and the NSAI Songwriter/Artist of the Year Award. By the end of
1990, Killin' Time sold over two million copies in America.
Black released his second album, Put Yourself in My Shoes, in 1990. Like
the debut, Put Yourself in My Shoes was a major success, spawning four
Top Ten hits ("Put Yourself in My Shoes," "One More Payment," and the number
ones "Loving Blind" and "Where Are You Now"), selling over two million copies,
and peaking at number 18 on the pop charts. Even though it sold well, it didn't
receive the same critical acclaim as the debut. Nevertheless, Black was named
Best Male vocalist that same year. Throughout 1990, Black was on tour with
Alabama and appearing on television shows
across the country. In 1991, several singles from Put Yourself in My Shoes
charted and he was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. On New Year's Eve of 1991,
he married the television actress Lisa Hartman.
Black began 1992 in a lawsuit with his manager. Black claimed that his original
contract gave Ham too large of a percentage of the singer's royalties and
publishing rights. For seven months he was embroiled in the lawsuit, during
which he was recording his third album. By the summer, the suit was settled and
his new album, The Hard Way, finally was released. The Hard Way
received positive reviews and became an immediate hit, peaking at number two on
the country charts and crossing over into the pop Top Ten. The first single from
the album, "We Tell Ourselves," reached number one that summer. Black began a
lengthy world tour in June of 1992 to support The Hard Way.
Although it was a success, The Hard Way wasn't as popular as Black's
first two records, selling no more than a million copies. Released in 1993,
No Time to Kill, his fourth album, continued the stagnation in his record
sales, even though its sales were more than respectable — the album went
platinum and spawned the hit single "When My Ship Comes In." During the fall of
1994, Black released his fifth album, One Emotion, followed a year later
by the seasonal effort Looking for Christmas. Nothin' But the
Taillights appeared after a two-year hiatus, and in 1999 Black celebrated a
decade of recording with D'Lectrified. Several hits collections followed
into the new millennium. In 2004, Black returned with Spend My Time, his
first batch of new material in over six years, closely followed by Drinkin'
Songs & Other Logic in 2005. Black continued to tour occasionally but
stayed away from the studio. In 2010, he and his partners sold their publishing
concern to the conglomerate Ole, one of the world’s largest independent music
publishers.
Black continued writing songs on his own and in collaboration with a host of
others including
Steve Wariner, Frank Nicholas and
Bill Anderson. He formed his own label Blacktop Records (no relation to his
former company) and entered into a partnership with Thirty Tigers. In early
2015, he began working on a new project at his home studio in Nashville and at
various others in California. The finished product was entitled On Purpose. It
featured guest spots from
Big & Rich and wife Lisa Hartmann Black and was released in September.
