Chanteur
Rock 'n' Roll US né le 7 Mai 1923 à Springfield (Missouri). Jim Lowe a enregistré dans la deuxième moitié des années cinquante chez Dot Records puis il est retourné à son ancien métier de Disc-Jockey, qu'il avait entamé à Springfield à la fin des années quarante.
Il a pris sa retraite en 2004 à l'âge de 77 ans à Southampton (New York). Jim
Lowe est décédé le 12 Décembre 2016.
Singer,
songwriter, disc jockey, and radio host and personality Jim Lowe is most
remembered for his version of "Green Door," a song written by Marvin Moore and
Bob Davie, which hit number one on the singles charts in the U.S. in 1956. Born
May 7, 1923 in Springfield, Missouri, Lowe had a long run as a disc jockey at
WNEW AM in New York, and was also heard on WNBC AM in New York and on the NBC
Radio program Monitor. Lowe wrote and recorded a number of early rock & roll
sides, most of them novelty-styled titles, and he also recorded covers of the
rock & roll hits of the day, usually without improving on them. He sang in a
kind of booming radio announcer's voice that puts most of his catalog in the
goofy and silly category, and truthfully, Lowe was never really aiming higher or
elsewhere. He released things on his own Dot Records imprint, including the
albums Songs They Sing Behind the Green Door (1957) and Wicked Women (1958). In
the end, he was far more of a radio personality than he was a rock star, which
is most likely how he planned it. Lowe retired from the business in 2004 at the
age of 77. Jim Lowe passed away on December 12, 2016.
