Merle Kilgore

geb. 9. 8. 1934 in Chickasha/ Oklahoma Record Labels: Imperial, D, Starday, Columbia, Mercury, Epic, Ashley, Hilltop, Elektra, Warner Brothers Erster Hit: Dear Mama (1960) Erster Top Ten Hit: Love Has Made You Beautiful (1960) Wyatt Merle Kilgore, ein Ex-DJ. und Sänger, dem immer ein bisschen Glück zum großen Star gefehlt hat. Als Komponist dagegen war er umso erfolgreicher. Guy Lombardo und Webb Pierce hatten schon 1954 riesige Erfolge mit dem Kilgore-Titel „More And More“. Johnny Horton war erfolgreich mit ,Johnny Reb“, Claude King mit ,Wolverton Mountain“ und Johnny Cash mit „Ring Of Fire“. Die Reihe von Hits, die Merle Kilgore für seine Sangeskollegen geschrieben hat, ließe sich beliebig fortsetzen. Er selbst war Gast bei nahezu allen großen Shows: Louisiana Hayride, Big D Jamboree und Grand Ole Opry. Auch jetzt, Mitte der 80er Jahre taucht Kilgore mit kleineren Hit immer wieder in den Charts auf.
