Bobby Goldsboro - Goldsboro '1977

Tracks list

       Best remembered for his 1968 chart-topper, "Honey," singer/songwriter
Bobby Goldsboro was born January 18, 1941 in Marianna, FL. After relocating to
Dothan, AL, while in his teens, he went on to study at Auburn University,
quitting school after his sophomore year to pursue music full-time. During the
early '60s, Goldsboro played guitar in Roy Orbison's backing band, mounting a
solo career in early 1964 and soon scoring a Top Ten hit with the self-penned
"See the Funny Little Clown." His sophisticated yet sentimental vocal style
yielded Top 40 entries throughout the middle of the decade, among them "Whenever
He Holds You," "Little Things," "Voodoo Woman," "It's Too Late," and "Blue
Autumn"; though Goldsboro primarily wrote and recorded his own material, he also
notched a minor hit with the Burt Bacharach/Hal David novelty "Me Japanese Boy I
Love You." "Honey," a maudlin tale about the tragic death of a young bride,
remained at number one for five weeks in the spring of 1968, reaching the number
two spot in the U.K. soon after and falling just shy of the top spot upon
re-entering the British charts in 1975.

However, "Honey" was far and away the biggest of Goldsboro's career, and after
returning to the Top 40 twice more in 1968 with "Autumn of My Life" and "The
Straight Life," he was absent from the charts for over two years. He made an
unexpected comeback in early 1971 when "Watching Scotty Grow" nearly reached the
Top Ten, but outside of the follow-up, "Summer (The First Time)," his commercial
heyday was over. Between 1973 and 1975 he hosted the syndicated television
variety series The Bobby Goldsboro Show, next forming the Nashville-based House
of Gold Music publishing firm. Goldsboro retired from performing during the
mid-'80s to producing children's entertainment, including a number of audiobooks
and television specials, the first of which, Easter Egg Mornin', premiered on
the Disney Channel in 1991. Concurrently, he scored the CBS sitcom Evening
Shade, and in 1995 launched the children's series The Swamp Critters of Lost
Lagoon. ~ Jason Ankeny
