About Dallas Frazier...
Dallas Frazier was born on Friday 27 October 1939 in Spiro, Oklahoma but was raised in Bakersfield, California; he has become one of the country music genre's most enduring songwriters.
Dallas Frazier was skilled on a number of musical instruments by the age of twelve; while still in his teens, he became a featured member of Ferlin Husky's band, cutting his first solo single, 'Space Command', in 1954; Ferlin Husky was born on Thursday 3 December 1925 and passed away on Thursday 17 March 2011.
Soon after, Dallas Frazier was named a regular performer on the 'Hometown Jamboree' program, where he was often paired with fellow teen star Molly Bee.
Dallas Frazier's 1957 song, 'Alley Oop', later taken to No.1 in the United States of America by The Hollywood Argyles, was his first hit. After 'Hometown Jamboree' went off the air, Dallas Frazier moved to Nashville, where he found work as a songwriter.
In 1963, Bonnie Owens (Tuesday 1 October 1929 - Monday 24 April 2006) recorded Dallas Frazier's 'Why Don't Daddy Live Here Anymore' (co-written with Fuzzy Owen) for Tally Records; the track almost reached the Top 20 on the Billboard country music singles chart in 1963 and was subsequently included on 'Don't Take Advantage Of Me' (Capitol Records, 1965).
Among Dallas Frazier's early successes was 'Timber I'm Falling', a hit for Ferlin Husky (Thursday 3 December 1925 - Thursday 17 March 2011) in 1964; the track was included on Ferlin Husky's 'By Request' (Capitol Records, 1964) and reached No.13 on the Billboard country music singles chart.
In June 1966, Dallas Frazier saw the release of his first solo album, 'Elvira' (Capitol Records, 1966); the title track reached No.72 on the Billboard country music singles chart in 1966.
