FREDDIE HART

Chanteur Country US né Fred Segrest, le 21 décembre 1933 à Lochapoka (Alabama).

Freddie Hart a débuté en 1953. Il fut un chanteur régulier au Town Hall Party (KTTV, Compton (Californie).


Country music is full of rags-to-riches stories, but few took longer to unfold than Freddie Hart's — his chart-topping hit "Easy Loving" arrived nearly 20 years into his recording career.Hart was born Fred Segrest on December 21, 1926, in Loachapoka, Alabama. He was one of 15 children from a poor sharecropper's family that struggled to provide enough food for its members, but shared a love of music and the Grand Ole Opry.Hart began playing guitar at the age of five, and joined the Civilian Conservation Corps at 12. He falsified his age to enlist in the Marines at the age of 14 and fought in the Pacific during World War II. He earned black belts in jujitsu and judo, and made his first public appearances singing at officers clubs.After leaving the military, he decided to pursue country music as a career and adopted the stage name "Freddie Hart." Wayne Raney and Lefty Frizzell helped him place his first songs and sign with Capitol Records in 1953. At his second Capitol session, he recorded an original song titled "Loose Talk" that Carl Smith covered and took to number one. Hart moved to Columbia Records in 1956 and appeared regularly on the Town Hall Party television program with Frizzell, Tex Ritter, Johnny Bond, and other country stars.Despite the exposure, Hart's recordings weren't selling very well at this stage, but his songs continued to be recorded by other artists. He finally began charting moderate hits in the late '50s and early '60s with songs such as "The Wall," "Chain Gang," and "The Key's in the Mailbox." He moved from label to label in the '60s and in 1970 he returned to Capitol Records. His first hits for the label were again minor at best, and Capitol dropped him from their roster. Then, in 1971, a DJ began playing "Easy Loving" from the album of the same name, and it climbed to number one, winning the Country Music Association Song of the Year award and crossing over to the pop Top 40.Hart followed up "Easy Loving" with an incredible string of hip, sexy love songs that raced to the highest rungs of the country chart. He was able to sustain the momentum well into the '70s, and rounded out the decade as one of its Top 20 country hitmakers. When Hart's chart performance declined toward the end of the '70s, he left Capitol for Sunbird and made several moderate hits. His final hit came in 1987, but he continued to perform into the 21st century, recording a gospel album in 1996 and making personal appearances in Branson, MO. Outside of music, Hart owned a trucking company and operated a school for children with disabilities, but country fans will always remember him for his phenomenal run of sweet and sexy country hits in the early and mid-'70s.
