Chanteur Country US né Robert Crosby Hoar, le 25
Avril 1954 à Sumpter
(Caroline du Sud).
Rob Crosby was a singer/songwriter
noted for his folksy, sensitive lyrics. Born Robert Crosby Hoar in Sumpter,
South Carolina, he wrote his first song at age nine and had his first band, the
Radiations, while still in fifth grade. Inspired by
Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan,
and Paul Simon, Crosby wrote songs and performed with a three-piece combo in
high school. While in college, he began playing with the band Savannah in South
Carolina nightclubs. He then founded the Rob Crosby Group and toured the
Southeast. In 1974, the group broke up and Crosby moved to Nashville with his
family; two former bandmembers also moved there, and they and Crosby reteamed to
play in local clubs.
A year after getting a job as a staff writer at a small music publishing house,
Crosby's 1985 song, "She Told Me Yes," was a Top 30 hit for the group Chance.
Soon others, including Lee Greenwood,
began recording his songs. When not writing, Crosby earned extra money singing
commercial jingles for radio and television. A performance at a songwriter's
night hosted by the Nashville Entertainment Association led to a record deal,
and in 1991, he released his debut album, Solid Ground, which contained three
Top 20 singles, including "Love Will Bring Her Around." He wrote or co-wrote
most of the songs on the album and garnered considerable critical acclaim for
his sensitive, female-oriented lyrics. His second album, Another Time & Place
(1992), did not do as well and Arista dropped him. In 1995, he resurfaced with
Starting Now.
