Chanteur Rock 'n' Roll US né Ralph Joseph Reynolds, le 3 Décembre 1932 à Denver (Colorado), mais élevé en Oklahoma. Jody
Reynolds a débuté en 1958 sur Demon, puis il est passé chez Sundown (59),
Indigo (61) et Brent Records (63). Jody Reynolds est décédé le 7 Novembre 2008 à
Palm Desert (Californie).
Jody Reynolds
had a million-seller in 1958 with "Endless Sleep." The single became a
forerunner of death rock classics such as "Tell Laura I Love Her" from
Ray Peterson and "Teen Angel" by
Mark Dinning. Reynolds charted for the
last time that same year with a number titled "Fire of Love." Despite the lack
of a string of chart successes, his one big seller was enough to ensure
Reynolds' membership in the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, which inducted him in 1999.
In conjunction with the honor, Tru Gems Records issued a double-CD set of
Reynolds' recordings, featuring guest performances by
Bobbie Gentry,
Jimmy Bryant, and others.
Reynolds was born in Colorado in 1938, but he was raised in Oklahoma. He learned
how to play guitar during his early teen years, when he gravitated to the
Western swing sounds of Hank Thompson,
Bob Wills, and
Eddy Arnold. In 1952, he founded a group
called the Storms. Within three years, he was in Texas, where he played
rockabilly, caught Roy Orbison's live
act, and enjoyed the music of such performers as
Carl Perkins and
Elvis Presley.
Herb Montei, a Hollywood music publisher, turned down Reynolds when he heard his
first demo submissions. After hearing "Endless Sleep," however, Montei agreed to
manage the young rockabilly singer and he arranged for Reynolds to record the
song for Demon Records. Reynolds had written the song in a single afternoon in
1956 in Yuma, AZ. Some of Reynolds' songs, including "Endless Sleep," give a
writing credit to Dolores Nance, but the name is a pseudonym that Reynolds used.
Reynolds and the Storms later recorded a honky tonk sounding instrumental, "Thunder,"
for Indigo. The flip side was "Tarantula." Reynolds also released "Stormy" on
Smash Records, which was backed by "Don't Jump." For Brent, he recorded "Raggedy
Ann," which was produced by Alan Freed. "Fire of Love" has been featured in a
few films, including Doctor Chance in France.
Reynolds remained with the Storms throughout the 1960s. He left the limelight
during the 1970s. He settled in Palm Springs, CA, where he sells real estate.
