Chanteur Country US né le 19 Juillet 1940 à Jackson (Tennessee).
Born 19 July
1940, Jackson, Tennessee, USA. As a child Vernon heard a great deal of country
music. This was largely owing to his older brother who had a regular spot on a
local radio station, playing records by country musicians who were visiting town.
These touring artists would sometimes drop in at the Vernon’s home, even playing
impromptu sessions in the house or yard. Soon singing professionally, he found
success in the mid-60s in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he secured a resident gig at
the Golden Nugget. This lasted for some 15 years and Vernon wisely turned some
of his steady earnings into real estate, mainly in Albuquerque, New Mexico,
which is where he lived for several years. He made several records, including a
cover of Buddy Holly’s ‘That’ll Be The
Day’ that reached number 24 on the US charts in 1972. Among other songs in his
repertoire are ‘Woman Won’t You Make Up My Mind’, ‘Oh Why Not Tonight’, ‘Ain’t
That A Shame’, ‘Free Born Man’, ‘I’ll Tell You Where To Go’, ‘Raining On A Sunny
Day’, ‘The Bridge Washed Out’, ‘Nashville Union Station Depot’ and ‘Up On
Cripple Creek’. He also recorded some popular duets with
LaWanda Lindsey, including ‘Eye
To Eye’, ‘Let’s Think About Where We’re Going’, ‘Looking Over Our Shoulder’ and
‘We Don’t Deserve Each Other’.
