McPherson le 2 Avril 1938 à Nashville (Tennessee). Warner Mack travailla d'abord dans une radio de Vickburg avant d'enregistrer un premier disque en 1957 chez Decca Records. Devenu une Star de la Country Music, il grava environ 170 faces pour Decca. Il a aussi enregistré pour Scarlet
(60) et Kapp Records (61). Il fut aussi disc Jockey sur WVIM (Vickburg,
Mississippi) en 1957. Warner Mack est décédé le 1er Mars 2022 à
Nashville (Tennessee).
Warner
Mack was a popular performer for Decca Records during the 1960s. He was born
Warner MacPherson, the son of a Presbyterian minister, and raised in Vicksburg,
Mississippi, where he taught himself to play guitar as a youth. A talented
athlete, he had offers to play both college baseball and football; he was also
offered a spot on the St. Louis Cardinals, but Mack really wanted to be a
musician. He got his start on the KWKH Louisiana Hayride and then
appeared on Red Foley's Ozark Jamboree,
gaining an even greater following. He still kept a day job at a tire company and
also worked as an announcer on a Vicksburg radio station.
Mack moved to Nashville in the late '50s; in 1957, he began his profitable
association with Decca, becaming "Mack" thanks to an inattentive secretary. He
wrote his debut single "Is It Wrong (For Loving You)" and scored a Top Ten hit
that remained on the country charts for over nine months and crossed over to
become a minor pop hit. He later signed with Kapp Records and produced several
albums for them. After performing on the Grand Ole Opry, he re-signed to
Decca, where "Sittin' in an All Nite Cafe" made it to the Top Five.
Unfortunately, he had a serious auto accident in 1964 and spent several months
recovering. In 1965, he scored his career hit with "Bridge Washed Out," which
topped the charts for months. This was followed by a series of hits that
stretched until 1973; among his most popular songs were ""Sittin' on a Rock (Crying
in a Creek)," "Talkin' to the Wall," and "Leave My Dreams Alone." Mack left
Decca in 1973. Four years later he signed to Pageboy Records and had one minor
hit, "These Crazy Thoughts (Run Through My Mind)," his final chart entry.
Warner Mack died on March 1, 2022 in Nashville (Tennessee).
