Ray Smith: Rockin' Bandit - Rock Originals Collection Vol.17 (CD)

(Fnac Music) 19 tracks

You could almost say that Ray Smith made his debut in France! In fact, when he joined the army in 1953, when he was nineteen years old, he was sent to Mets. And you don't just learn French and German! - he begins to sing seriously. First, in the pure country house style. Then he hears Elvis Presley's first records. Although he was not very impressed at the beginning, he finally got a preference for this new music.

Back home, in June 56, he continued on this path. His manager, Charlie Fenil, knows Sam Phillips, the famous founder of the Sun label, discoverer of Elvis Presley and so many other rockers who also offer a long descent to the heights of fame and wealth. He plays tapes recorded during television and radio shows Ray regularly participates in in his good city of Paducah, Kentucky. Ray is hired with confidence without even an audition!

He recorded some excellent songs at Sun Studio, including the famous "Break Up" by Charlie Rich, whose later version of Jerry Lee Lewis and "Righi Behind You Baby" is known and will be an excellent cover for the Englishman Vince Taylor. Ray Smith knows his greatest success after his transfer, dear Judd a dissident label from Jud Phillips: "Rockin' Little Angel". But fame is frivolous. Sometimes it goes even faster than it came. This was probably one of the reasons why Raymond Eugene Smith committed suicide in 1979.
