Chanteur Country US né le 26
Mars 1950 à Fountain Head
(Tennessee).
Best known
for his visual and vocals resemblance to
Elvis Presley, Ronnie McDowell enjoyed a series of Top Ten hits on the
country charts during the first half of the '80s. McDowell was born in 1950 and
raised in the small town of Portland, TN, and started singing publicly while
serving the Navy in the Philippines. He hit big in 1977 with "The King Is Gone,"
a tribute to Presley written
immediately after the singer's death; released on the Scorpion label, the song
climbed into the Top 20 of both the pop and country charts.
McDowell capitalized on the exposure to land another hit, the Top Five country
single "I Love You, I Love You, I Love You," in 1978. The following year, he was
tapped to sing the Vocals for an Elvis
TV movie starring Kurt Russell. Afraid he was becoming pigeonholed, McDowell
teamed up with producer Buddy Killen at Epic Records in hopes of broadening his
style. The plan worked, as McDowell became a consistent country hitmaker. He
scored a number one hit in 1981 with "Older Women," which kicked off a string of
11 consecutive Top Ten hits on Epic; of those, "Wandering Eyes," "Watchin' Girls
Go By," "You Made a Wanted Man of Me," and "In a New York Minute" all made the
Top Five, and 1983's "You're Gonna Ruin My Bad Reputation" went to number one.
1986 found McDowell jumping labels to Curb, but despite getting some attention
via duos with Conway Twitty (a remake
of "It's Only Make Believe") and Jerry Lee
Lewis ("You're Never Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll"), his commercial momentum
ground to a halt. He served as the singing voice of
Elvis for a few more TV productions,
and also sang some national commercial jingles, while continuing to record for
Curb through the early '90s. Toward the end of the decade, he started performing
R&B and beach music with Bill Pinkney's
Original Drifters, and they teamed up to release an album in 2002.
