CRASH CRADDOCK

Hallo,
in einem alten Ordner gefunden und kopiert:

Colonial Records, Chapel Hill. North California:
William Craddock, youngest member of a family of l3 born in Greensboro/North Carolina. At the age of 11 years Bill commenied his musical career when he toted his guitar up to the local TV station and tried out for a talent show. The guitar was almost as big as he was, but he knew how to handle it and charmed the audience into voting him the programmes top winner for 15 consecutive weeks.

At Greensboro, he attended the Rankin High School, where, because of his outstanding football ability and his special talent for smashing through the opposition to score try after try, Bill achieved the nickname of "CRASH".

Crash now 15 years old laid the groundwork for his present day career by joining the high school quartet called "The Four Rebels" and it was a singing audition with this quartet at Greensboros' Plantation Supper Club which gave Crash Craddock his first big thrust toward a national reputation. The club owner (Fred Koury) took one look at the guitar playing footballer in action and signed him to a personal management contract as well as a regular singing job. After this come a CBS recording contract and now at the age of 22 years, the 6 foot, 160 pound Crash Craddock has a string of hit paraders to his credit.

“Boom Boom Baby“ has sold over 62.000 records in Australia which is equivalent to sales of 1.500.000 in America. Then came “I Want That“, “Well Don't You Know“, “Letter Of Love“, and now “One Last Kiss“, “Heavenly Love“ and “Good Time Billy“ are all Top 40 bound. Not since Johnny Ray's first Australian visit have audiences packed stadiums, town halls, etc., to such capacity as when Crash toured with the Lee Gordon Big Show. For if any country can say they made a star Australia can claim CRASH CRADDOCK.
