Kurz-Bio:
Der Sänger-Songwriter Jim Lowe wurde am 7. Mai 1923 in Springfield, Missouri, als James Ellsworth Lowe geboren und verstarb am 12. Dezember 2016 in East Hampton, New York. Bei uns wurde er am bekanntesten mit dem von ihm gesungenen Titel "The Green Door", der aber nicht aus seiner Feder stammte. Den größten Erfolg als Songwriter hatte er wohl mit "Gambler's Guitar", mit den Rusty Draper bis in die Top 10 kam.
