Chanteur Doo Wop et Rhythm 'n' Blues US né
Thomas Jefferson Edwards, le 15 Octobre 1922 à Richmond (Virginie). Tommy Edwards a enregistré
surtout pour MGM.Records. Il est décédé le 23 Octobre 1969 à Henrico County (Virginie).
Vocalist,
pianist, and composer Tommy Edwards began performing in Richmond when he was
nine. He made his first impact in R&B circles in 1946, writing "That Chick's Too
Young to Fry." He began recording for Top in 1949 and had his first hit in 1951
with "All Over Again" for MGM, a song that made it to number ten on the R&B
charts. Nearly seven years later, a song that Edwards originally recorded in
1951 became his biggest hit and an R&B and pop staple. "It's All in the Game"
was issued on MGM in a slightly different version. The 1958 edition topped both
R&B and pop charts. Edwards later had another hit with a reworked song he had
released in 1952, as "Please Mr. Sun" reached number 18 R&B and number 11 pop as
the follow-up single. His last chart tune was "My Melancholy Baby" in 1959.
