Austin, Bobby
(posted May 1, 1998) Bobby's 65th birthday is Monday May 4 (1933)! He started as a bass player in Vancouver,Wa. He moved his family to L.A. and knocked on doors until he met Buck Owens and got into a studio audition which earned him a signing with Capitol. Bobby performed with Buck Owens, Winn Stewart & the Tourists and Merle Haggard performed with him also. Bob stayed with Capitol for 7-8 yrs and then signed on with Atlantic. With Knoxville Station on the HOT TOP 20, Bobby was on the charts solo! Also a successful songwriter at the time with such hits for other artists were APT # 9 (written for Tammy Wynette - Her 1st #1 Hit) and the record company released the song penned by FERN FOLEY (Bobby's Wife). He wanted it in her name,though Johnny Paycheck wrote the line Loneliness surrounds me, without your arms around me-Bobby allowed him 1/2 of the songs rights. Additionally, Bob wrote Try A Little Kindness Performed by Glen Cambell. Bob has lived with Dialysis for several years but he also worked his other art-as a well known folk artist in the Northwest. Other record companies that Bobby worked with were Tally records and Central Song. He still enjoys a private pickin' session occasionally! Bobby Plays Bass, acustic and sings. He is married to Fern and they live in Vancouver, Wa , They have 4 children and several grandchildren. Bob will view the Rockabilly HOF site for the first time on is birthday great surprise for him. He's never been on the net. WE ALL LOVE YA BOBBY...THANKS FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE MUSIC! - submitted by Bobby's Buddy (Dunmore00@aol.com)

JOHNNY ACE. Born John Alexander Jr., June 29, 1929, Memphis, TN. Died December 24, 1954, Houston Texas. Johnny was one of the most popular singers of the early 1950s, but he is perhaps most famous for the way he died - he allegedly shot himself while playing Russian Roulette. Johnny served in the navy during WWII. Later he joined the Adoplh Duncan band as a piano player. He often jammed with B.B. King Bobby "Blue" Bland on Beale Street in Memphis. In 1953 he issued his single, "My Song." On Christmas eve he died backstage at Houston's City Audorium. In recent years the details of his death have questioned the possibility of murder. One of his biggest hits was the 1953 tune, "Pledging My Love."
CHET AKTINS. Born June 20, 1924 in Luttrell, TN. Raised in poverty, Chet received his musical training from his evangelical singer father and an older half brother. He started playing guitar about age nine, admiring Les Paul, Django Reinhardt and the finger-picjing style of Merle Travis. He began his music career in his teens playing fiddle for Archie Campbell. The "Country Gentleman" switched to guitar, then moved on the Grand Ole Opry while doing session work and producing. Chet was instrumental in helping the Everly Brothers get started and produced some Roy Orbison and Elivs projects. In 1973, at the age of 49, he became the youngest inductee in the Country Music Hall of Fame. To date he has recorded over 75 albums, selling a total of over 35 million records.
HOYT AXTON. Born March 25, 1938, Duncan, OK. Singer/songwriter Hoyt Axton's mother (a noted song writer herself "Heartbreak Hotel" among them) passed away in early 1997. Hoyt's most famous songs: "joy to the World," "Greenback Dollar," "The Pusher," "The No-No Song" and "Have You Ever Been to Spain" were hits by other artists. His father and the family was always on the move. Released his first LP "The Balladeer" in 1962. Axton acquired and eventually kicked a ten-year cocaine habit. He appeared the movie "The Black Stallion. His acting career grew as he appeared in the "Bonanza" TV series and then back to the movies: "E.T.," "Gremlins," and "We're No Angels." Died Oct. 26, 1999.
