Chanteur
Country US né Noble F. Stover, le 16 Novembre 1928 à Huntsville (Texas). Smokey
Stover est décédé le 3 Juin 2005.
US Country singer born Noble F.
Stover on Nov. 16, 1928 in Huntsville, TX, Smokey had his own band and was
playing the honky tonks of Texas at 16. In 1949, a new radio station went on the
air in Pasadena, TX where he landed his first deejaying job at KLVL-AM, an
on-the-air learning experience. A year later, KRCT-AM in Baytown, TX lured him
away. Over the next year, Smokey's show became so popular, the station changed
their format to country and hired two more deejays.
In 1954, he moved on to KBRZ-AM in Freeport, TX where he stayed for three years
except for a six-month interval in 1956 when he helped launch KLOS in
Albuquerque, NM. In 1958, he moved to KCIJ-AM in Shreveport, LA to be near the
Louisiana Hayride, hoping the move would push his singing career. Seven months
later, the station changed owners who brought in their own deejays. With the
help of a friend, Claude Gray, Smokey found a job at WDAL in Meridian, MS where
he stayed until late 1959 when he received a call from his old Freeport boss,
Ken Ferguson. Ken was opening KMOP in Tucson, AZ and wanted Smokey to be his
sign-on man. Smokey hit the airwaves there in Jan. 1960 and remained there for
eight years when he took a couple of years out to concentrate on his singing and
songwriting.
On Jan. 1, 1970, Smokey went back on the air at KRZE in Farmington, NM. A year-and-a-half
later, his mother's illness forced him back to Houston, TX. He more or less
retired from radio then until 1992 when a friend built a new station, KVST in
Conroe/Huntsville, TX. Smokey went on the air there in early 1993 and ran a
midnight 'til 6 am show for a year until it "got old" and he re-retired. In
1995, Ernie Ashworth lured him to Gallatin, TN to get the "Country Classic"
station of WYXE off the ground. Smokey enjoyed romping and stomping with the
Oldies for about eight months when he hung it up and returned to his native
Texas where he's retired from radio, but still pickin' and singin' every
weekend. His latest recording is titled, I May Be Getting Older, But I Ain't
Stopped Thinking Young.
Smokey was inducted into the Country Music DJ Hall of Fame in 2000.
