Chanteur Country US né Robert Valentine Braddock, le 5
Août 1940 à Lakeland
(Floride).
Country
songwriter Bobby Braddock was one of the more prolific hitmakers of the '70s,
and also made a few of his own recordings toward the end of the decade. Born in
Lakeland, FL, in 1940, Braddock first entered the music industry as a keyboard
player for Marty Robbins, whose
backing band he joined in 1964. Two years later,
Robbins recorded the Braddock-penned "While
You're Dancing," and had a chart hit with it. Building on that foundation,
Braddock joined the songwriting staff at Tree International Publishing, where he
replaced Roger Miller. He also found
work as a session musician, and began making his own recordings, charting with
the 1967 single "I Know How to Do It." That same year,
the Oak Ridge Boys had a Top Ten hit with
Braddock's "Would They Love Him Down in Shreveport," and his career was on its
way. 1968 brought two Top Tens for
the Statler Brothers, plus Braddock's first number one hit in
Tammy Wynette's "D-I-V-O-R-C-E," which
he co-wrote with Curly Putman. Over the next ten years, Braddock kept cranking
out hits for countless artists, the biggest of which included "I Believe the
South's Gonna Rise Again" (Tanya Tucker),
"Come on In" (Jerry Lee Lewis), "Womanhood"
(Wynette again), and the duo "Something
to Brag About" (recorded by Willie Nelson
with Mary Kay Place, as well as Wynette
and George Jones).Braddock landed a
recording deal with Elektra in his own right in 1979, and scored a chart hit
that year with the title track of his first full-length album, Between the
Lines. The 1980 follow-up, Love Bomb, was a semi-concept album filled
with witty, southern-fried social commentary, and was followed in 1983 by the
mini-album Harepore Cornography. The same year, Braddock teamed with
Matraca Berg to write
T.G. Sheppard's number one hit "Faking
Love." Braddock's songwriting career began to slow down a bit during the '80s,
but he still came up with periodic successes, penning hits for
Tracy Lawrence ("Time Marches On,"
"Texas Tornado") and Mark Chesnutt
("Old Flames Have New Names"), among others, during the '90s.
