Nord). Bill Phillips est décédé le 23 Août 2010.
born William
Clarence Phillips, 28 January 1936, Canton, North Carolina, USA. Phillips grew
up in an area steeped in country music and learned guitar and began singing
before leaving high school to work as an upholsterer. In 1955, he joined the Old
Southern Jamboree on WMIL Miami and sang at local clubs, before moving to
Nashville in 1957. He joined Cedarwood Publishing as a songwriter and soon
gained attention when he penned Webb Pierce's
1958 Top 10 country hit ‘Falling Back To You’. This success saw Phillips signed
to Columbia Records and in 1959 and 1960, he registered his first two Top 30
hits with ‘Sawmill’ and ‘Georgia Town Blues’, both with
Mel Tillis, and he appeared on the Grand
Ole Opry. He joined Decca Records in 1963 and by 1971, had registered 12 more
hits, the biggest being ‘Put It Off Until Tomorrow’ (1966) which, with
Dolly Parton (the song’s co-writer) on
harmony vocal, reached number 6. Other Top 10s included ‘The Company You Keep’
(1966), ‘The Words I’m Gonna Have To Eat’ and ‘Little Boy Sad’ (1969), the
latter having previously been a 1961 pop hit for
Johnny Burnette. During the 70s, he
registered five more minor hits, when recording on the United Artists or
Soundwaves label. From the early 70s, he began to work as part of the
Kitty Wells -
Johnny Wright Show, although
continuing to make a few recordings as a solo artist. In 1995, he suffered a
stroke and Wells,
Wright and other country music
friends played a charity show to raise money for him.
