US Country
singer born
May 13, 1931 in Dora (Alabama).
Known for his one big hit, 1954's "Truck Driving Man," Terry Fell is but
a footnote in country history, but an important one nonetheless. His hit
literally spawned the whole truck driving saga that is still a major part of
country music's lyrical pool. He was also the first to see the promise in a
young
Buck Owens, signing him to a manager's contract and using him as a lead
guitarist on his sessions.
Fell started his recording career around 1945 as a member of
Billy Hughes' group for Fargo Records. After the lone Fargo release, Fell
recorded for Courtney and 4-Star, kicking up enough noise and sales with the
4-Star singles to get signed to RCA Victor's new 'X' subsidiary in 1954. It was
at his first RCA session held in Hollywood that Fell waxed his first, and
biggest, hit, the two-sided smash "Don't Drop It" and the immortal "Truck
Drivin' Man." At first, "Don't Drop It" was the side to watch, spawning no less
than five different cover versions for two different marketplaces. But it was
the flip side that became the classic, spawning innumerable cover versions and
hitting again on the country charts as late as 1976 for
Red Steagall. Fell stayed with RCA and show business for the next five or
six years, seeing no more hits but making serious inroads into the
behind-the-scenes side of Nashville. Although he continued to record
sporadically for Crest, Lode, and even RCA again, he had made the successful
move into songwriting and music publishing, earning far more than he ever had as
a performer. Terry
Fell died
April 4, 2007 in Madison (Tennessee).
