Kurz-Bio:
Billy hat schon Einiges verraten, hier nun noch eine kurze Zusammenfassung mit minimalen Ergänzungen.
Der Band-Leader, Trompeter, Sänger, Songwriter und Produzent Danny Davis wurde am 29. Mai 1925 in Dorchester, Massachusetts, als George Nowlan geboren und verstarb am 12. Juni 2008 in Nashville, Tennessee. Er war schon in "unserer" Zeit sehr rege unterwegs, in den Charts konnte man ihn allerdings nicht finden. Erst mit seiner Idee einer "Nashville Brass" etwa ab 1969 hatte er größeren Erfolg, für die er Musiker wie Floyd Cramer, Grady Martin, Bob Moore, Bob Harmon, um nur Einige zu nennen, gewinnen konnte und mit der er ab 1970 auch
in den C&W-Charts vertreten war (links klicken).
