Chanteuse US née le 24 Juillet 1957 à Plant City (Floride). Pam Tillis est la fille de Mel Tillis.
The daughter
of country legend Mel Tillis, Pam Tillis made
her own way in the music business, eventually becoming a contemporary country
star in the '90s. Tillis was born on July 24, 1957, in Plant City, FL, but
raised mostly in Nashville and started taking piano lessons at age eight. She
switched to guitar at 12 and played in talent contests during her teenage years.
Somewhat wild and rebellious, she survived a near-fatal car crash at age 16 that
required extensive facial reconstruction. Fortunately, she recovered fully and
pursued music aggressively at the University of Tennessee, singing with the High
Country Swing Band (which played country-rock and jug band music) and in a folk
duo with Ashley Cleveland. She quit school in 1976 and worked at her father's
publishing company, placing her composition "I'll Meet You on the Other Side of
the Morning" with Barbara
Fairchild. She also formed her own backing band, which soon relocated to the
San Francisco Bay Area and renamed themselves Freelight; they developed an
adventurous style based on jazz and rock, not country. Tillis returned to
Nashville in 1979, though, and sang backup for her father while raising her
first child as a single parent, fronting an R&B band, and continuing to write
songs, a couple of which were recorded by Gloria Gaynor and Chaka Khan.
Tillis performed regularly at Nashville's Bluebird Cafe with several other
female singer/songwriters and landed a deal with Warner Brothers in the early
'80s. She released one album, the pop-oriented Above and Beyond the Doll of
Cutey, in 1983 and had her first chart single the following year with "Goodbye
HIghway." Several more singles were released through 1987, but none even managed
to make the Top 50; even so, Tillis was making her name as a songwriter for Tree
Publishing, with compositions recorded by Highway
101 and Conway
Twitty, among others. In 1989, the same year she acted in a Tennessee
production of Jesus Christ Superstar, she landed a new deal with Arista. Tillis released
her label debut, Put Yourself in My Place, in 1991, and the lead single, "Don't
Tell Me What to Do," raced into the Top Five, giving Tillis her long-awaited
breakthrough. Of the album's five total singles, "One of Those Things" and "Maybe
It Was Memphis" also made the Top Ten (as did the album). 1992's Homeward
Looking Angel was an equally successful follow-up, with "Shake the Sugar Tree"
and "Let That Pony Run" both making the Top Five.
Tillis co-produced her third Arista album, 1994's Sweetheart's Dance, which
proved to be her most successful yet and earned her the ACM's award for Female
Vocalist of the Year. "Spilled Perfume," "When You Walk in the Room," and "In
Between Dances" all went Top Five, and "Mi Vida Loca (My Crazy Life)" became her
first ever number one hit. Released in late 1995, All of This Love was the first
album Tillis produced by herself, and gave her Top Tens in "Deep Down" and "The
River and the Highway." Two new songs from 1997's Greatest Hits compilation,
"All the Good Ones Are Gone" and "Land of the Living," both went Top Five as
well. 1998's Every Time reflected her recent divorce from songwriter Bob DiPiero and
gave her a near-Top Ten hit in "I Said a Prayer." A reshuffling at Arista
delayed the release of Thunder and Roses until 2001, so in the meantime Tillis performed
on Broadway in the Leiber & Stoller tribute production Smokey Joe's Cafe. Thunder
and Roses found Tillis' commercial momentum slowing down, and she and Arista
subsequently parted ways. She caught on at Epic's roots subsidiary Lucky Dog and
debuted for them in 2002 with It's All Relative: Tillis Sings Tillis, a
collection of her father's material that finally found her embracing his legacy
on her own terms. Rhinestoned appeared in 2007 from Stellar Cat
Records; that same year, she also released the seasonal album Just In Time For
Christmas.
In 2013, Tillis teamed with Lorrie Morgan for the Dos Divas album. The pair
released a second album, Come See Me And Come Lonely, in 2017.
