Chanteuse US née Holly Suzette Dunn, le 22 Août 1957 à San Antonio (Texas). Holly Dunn est décédée le 14 Novembre 2016.
One of the
most popular female country singers of the late '80s, Holly Dunn was born in San
Antonio in 1957 and was the sister of future country songwriting pro Chris
Waters. In high school, she performed with a group called the Freedom Folk,
which toured the south and performed at the White House bicentennial celebration.
While attending Abilene Christian University, she sang with the school's Hilltop
Singers touring choir, and also co-wrote a song with her brother called "Out of
Sight, Not Out of Mind." It was recorded by
Cristy Lane,
which convinced Dunn to try her luck in Nashville after graduation. She worked
as a demo singer for a time before joining her brother as a staff songwriter at
CBS. In 1984, she moved over to MTM and penned material for several different
singers, including
Louise Mandrell, who made "I'm Not Through Loving You Yet" a Top Ten hit. In
the wake of its success, Dunn landed a record contract in her own right, and
released her first single in 1985. Her self-titled debut album appeared the
following year and produced her first Top Ten hit, "Daddy's Hands." 1987's
Cornerstone contained two Top Five singles in "Love Someone Like Me" and "Only
When I Love," and Dunn produced the 1988 follow-up, Across the Rio Grande,
herself, resulting in the hits "Strangers Again" and "(It's Always Gonna Be)
Someday." MTM subsequently went bankrupt, and Dunn signed with Warner Bros. for
1989's The Blue Rose of Texas, which produced her first-ever number one single,
"Are You Ever Gonna Love Me," as well as the Top Five "There Goes My Heart Again."
1990's Heart Full of Love spawned another chart-topper, "You Really Had Me Going,"
and Warner followed it with the hits compilation Milestones in 1991. One of the
new tracks, "Maybe I Mean Yes," sparked controversy over its lyrical content,
which some interpreted as an apology for date rape. Dunn's popularity took a hit
with 1992's Getting It Dunn, and she subsequently parted ways with Warner. She
resurfaced in 1995 on the smaller River North label with Life and Love and All
the Stages, and was back on a major (A&M) for 1997's Leave One Bridge Standing,
which failed to revive her commercial standing.
Holly Dunn passed away on November 14, 2016.
