Chanteur US né Raymond August Peterson, le 23
Avril 1939 à Denton (Texas). Ray Peterson a débuté en
1958 chez RCA Records avant de créer en 1961 son propre label Dune Records. Il disparaîtra des charts en 1963 avec l'explosion du Rock Anglais.
Ray est décédé le 25 Janvier 2005 chez lui à Smyrna (Tennessee).
Singer Ray
Peterson enjoyed a handful of pop hits during the early 1960s, among them the
Phil Spector-produced "Corrina Corrina" and the car-crash melodrama "Tell Laura
I Love Her." Born April 23, 1939 in Denton, TX, he spent much of his childhood
recovering from polio, and during an extended stay in a nearby treatment
facility he began performing for his fellow patients. As Peterson's health
returned he began singing professionally in local clubs, eventually relocating
to Los Angeles; there he was discovered by manager Stan Shulman, signing to RCA
in 1958. The owner of a four-octave voice,
Peterson's early material ran the gamut from teen ballads like "Let's Try
Romance" to covers including Little Willie John's "Fever," all to little success;
he finally scored a hit in 1959 with "The Wonder of You," which reached the Top
30 in both the U.S. and the U.K.
Another minor hit, "Answer Me," followed before Peterson scored his greatest
success with the 1960 epic "Tell Laura I Love Her." The record's popularity
allowed the singer to fund his own label, Dunes, and he soon recruited producer
Spector to helm a smash rendition of the traditional "Corrina Corrina." The
Dunes roster also included singer Curtis Lee,
for whom Spector produced the 1961 hits "Pretty Little Angel Eyes" and "Under
the Moon of Love." Peterson himself went on to cut the Goffin/King-authored "Missing
You" and "I Could Have Loved You So Well," but his stardom quickly faded, and
after scoring a last minor chart entry with 1963's "Give Us Your Blessing" he
signed to MGM in an attempt to cross over to country audiences, ultimately
retiring from perfoming as the decade drew to a close.
