Chanteur
Country US né le 7 Février 1909 à Batesville (Tennessee). Texas Jim Robertson a
fait une petite carrière dans le show business, enregistrant dans les années 30
et 40 une oeuvre inégale mais qui comporte de très beaux moments. Il a passé les
années de guerre à se produire pour les troupes américaines sur les deux
frontset a composé plusieurs pièces antinazis à la naïveté et à l'humour
irrésistible comme ce "Last Page Of Mein Kampf". Texas Jim Robertson est décédé
le 11 Novembre 1966.
Texas Jim
Robertson was a native of Texas as his name might suggest. He started off
singing when his aunt invited him out to Charlotte, NC for a visit when he was
about sixteen years old. While there, he got a job singing the old western songs.
It wasn't too long before his fame spread and he was offered a stint with the
NBC network.
While he was in New York, he was not only singing, but also taking on drama
roles on the radio. RCA Victor signed him to a recording contract.
In 1937, Marianne Holliday became Jim's wife. Around the beginning of World War
II, they became the parents to a little girl, Lucy Holliday Robertson.
The World's Fair in 1939 saw Texas Jim as a popular act with the Ford Exhibit.
Initially, Texas Jim was turned away by the Army to serve because he was rather
thin for his height. But undismayed, he later was accepted by the U.S. Marines.
While with them, he also entertained the troops while still going through his
boot camp regimen. His war service included serving in the Pacific Theatre and
he ended up in Omura, Japan, which was less than 25 miles from Nagasaki, where
the second atom bomb landed. While at Omura, he was named Chief Announcer and
entertainer for the Kyushu Network. He was honorably discharged in August 1946
and promptly headed home to Nyack, New York.
In addition to the recordings listed, his RCA Victor releases also included such
songs as: "I Heard The Angels Weep", "I'm So Low", "Slipping Around", "Wedding
Bells", "I Don't Want No More Of Army Life", "If You've Got The Money, I've Got
The Time".
