Chanteur Country US né
Lonnie Melvin Tillis, le 8 Août 1932, à Tempa (Floride). Batteur, violoniste et footballeur, Mel Tillis, malgré des problèmes d'élocution se lance comme chanteur et compositeur en 1957 chez Columbia. Puis en 1970, il passe chez MGM Records. Auteur prolifique, il a composé plus de 1000 chansons, Mel, aujourd'hui fermier près de Nashville, se produit encore avec son groupe les "Stadesiders".
Mel Tillis est mort le 19 Novembre 2017 à Ocale (Floride).
In light of
all the attention given Mel Tillis' infamous speech impediment -- he even named
his autobiography Stutterin' Boy -- the polished, sincere vocal delivery and
songwriting skills that first earned him fame were often lost in the shuffle;
nonetheless, throughout the course of his many decades in country music, Tillis remained
one of Nashville's most enduring personalities. Born Lonnie Melvin Tillis in
Tampa, Florida, on August 8, 1932, it is believed that his stuttering was the
result of a bout with malaria at the age of three. As a child, he learned guitar,
and in high school studied both the violin and the drums. At the age of 16, he
first performed publicly at a local talent show, and after graduation he entered
the military. While stationed in Okinawa, Japan, he formed a group called the
Westerners, which played local clubs.
After exiting the service in 1955, Tillis went to college and held odd jobs
until moving to Nashville the following year. He found little success as a
writer or performer there and soon returned to Florida; then, in 1957, Webb
Pierce reached number three with Tillis' composition "I'm Tired," earning
the aspiring artist a songwriting contract with Pierce's
Cedarwood Music. After playing with the likes of Minnie
Pearl and Judy
Lynn, Tillis cut his first single, a cover of the standard "It Takes a
Worried Man to Sing a Worried Song," in 1957; the B-side, the self-penned "Honky
Tonk Song," quickly became a chart-topper for Pierce.
After a few excursions into rock & roll territory, Tillis earned his first Top
40 hit with 1958's "The Violet and a Rose."
While Tillis continued to chart singles like 1959's "Finally" and a pair of
duets with Bill Phillips, "Sawmill"
and "Georgia Town Blues," his greatest success at the turn of the decade
remained as a songwriter. He continued supplying Pierce with
hit after hit, including the 1959 smashes "I Ain't Never" and "No Love Have I"
along with 1962's "Crazy Wild Desire" and 1963's "Sawmill." Also covering Tillis'
songs were Bobby
Bare ("Detroit City"), Ray
Price ("One More Time," "Burning Memories," "Heart Over Mind"), Stonewall
Jackson ("Mary Don't You Weep"), and Little
Jimmy Dickens ("The Violet and a Rose," also covered by Wanda
Jackson). In 1962, Tillis released his first LP, Heart Over Mind; a year
later, he teamed with Pierce for
the hit "How Come Your Dog Don't Bite Nobody But Me."
In 1965, Tillis recorded his first Top 15 hit, "Wine." A string of successes
followed, including 1966's "Stateside," "Life Turned Her That Way" (the title
cut from his 1967 album), and his first Top Ten, 1968's "Who's Julie." At the
same time, his stature as a songwriter continued to grow thanks to hit covers of
his "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town" (by both Johnny
Darrell and Kenny
Rogers & the First Edition) and "Mental Revenge" (Waylon
Jennings). At the end of the '60s, Tillis and
his esteemed new backing band the Statesiders came into their own as performers;
after two 1969 Top Ten hits, "These Lonely Hands of Mine" and "She'll Be Hanging
Around Somewhere," he scored back-to-back Top Five hits in 1970 with "Heart Over
Mind" and "Heaven Everyday." In 1971, he began a successful string of duets with Sherry
Bryce, including "Take My Hand" and "Living and Learning," and he released
the album Live at the Sam Houston Coliseum.
Arriving in 1972, "I Ain't Never" became his first chart-topper, and the
remainder of the following decade was Tillis' most fertile period as an artist,
as evidenced by a series of Top Five smashes like "Neon Rose," "Sawmill," "Midnight,
Me and the Blues," "Stomp Them Grapes," and "Memory Maker." Between 1976 and
1980, he scored five more number ones -- "Good Woman Blues," "Heart Healer," "I
Believe in You," "Coca Cola Cowboy," and "Southern Rains." He also appeared in a
number of films, including 1975's W.W. and the Dancekings (with Burt Reynolds and Jerry
Reed), 1977's The Villain (starring Kirk Douglas and Arnold
Schwarzenegger), Clint
Eastwood's Every Which Way But Loose in 1979, and 1980's all-star Smokey and
the Bandit II. Albums of the period included 1976's Love Revival and 1980's M-M-Mel
Live, in addition to a series of hits compilations.
In 1981, Tillis recorded a duets album with Nancy Sinatra called Mel and Nancy,
but like most of his work throughout the '80s, it failed to repeat the success
he had previously enjoyed. Although he continued to work in films (co-starring
in both Cannonball Run pictures) and notched the occasional Top Ten hit (like
1981's "A Million Old Goodbyes" and 1983's "In the Middle of the Night"), his
days as a superstar were over. Still, he remained a popular songwriter,
especially among younger artists; his "Honey (Open That Door)" and "Diggin' Up
Bones" were number one hits for, respectively, Ricky
Skaggs and Randy
Travis. Tillis also continued as a successful road act, and in the early
'90s his daughter Pam became one of country's biggest stars. Tillis, aside from
his obvious talents as a singer and actor, was also a natural comedian-- his
first comedy album, You Ain't Gonna Believe This, was released in 2010 on Show
Dog Records. Mel Tillis died in November 2017 at the age of 85.
