Chanteur
Country-Pop US né William Foster Hayes III, le 5 Juin 1925 à Harvey (Illinois).
Pop
vocalist and actor Bill Hayes was born June 5, 1925 in Harvey, Illinois.
Following high school, he attended DePauw University, graduating with a double
major in music and English in 1947, and that summer he officially began his
career as a singer. His big break came when he was a regularly featured singer
on comedian Sid Caesar's popular Your Show of Shows television series in the
1950s, appearances that made Hayes a household name. He also appeared in
numerous Broadway musicals and plays, including a starring role in a 1953
production of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Me and Juliet. In 1955 he recorded a
version of "The Ballad of Davy Crockett," a song written by George Bruns (music)
and Thomas W. Blackburn (lyrics) that had been written for and introduced (sung
by the Wellingtons) on the Disney television miniseries Davey Crockett on ABC in
1954. Hayes' version of the song was one of three to hit the pop charts in 1955,
with renditions by Fess Parker (who played Davy Crockett in the Disney
miniseries) and
Tennessee Ernie Ford also charting, with Hayes' version hitting the number
one spot in March, while Ford's reached number five and Parker's number six on
the pop charts. Two months later, a fourth version, this one by bluegrass singer
Mac Wiseman, hit number ten, and in all, including all versions, over ten
million copies of the song were sold. Hayes had a couple of other minor radio
hits in the 1950s, including "The Berry Tree" and covers of "High Noon" and "Wringle,
Wrangle," but only the last climbed into the Top 40, hitting number 33 in 1957.
Hayes turned increasingly to acting, landing a recurring role as Doug Williams,
a convict turned lounge singer, on the long-running television soap opera Days
of Our Lives, a role he began in 1970 and held until 2004, when his character
was killed off, only to be found later -- in a plot twist -- still alive and
living on a tropical island. In January of 2010, Hayes appeared in his 2,000th
episode of Days of Our Lives, a testament to his longevity (and that of his
character) in show business.
