Ray Peterson - Tell Laura I Love Her (RCA 1960)
Ray T. Peterson was born in Denton, Texas. As a boy he had to overcome polio. Blessed with a four octave singing voice, Peterson moved to Los Angeles, California where he was signed to a recording contract by RCA Victor Records in 1958.
He recorded several songs that were minor hits until "The Wonder of You" made it into the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart on June 15, 1959. The song would later be recorded by Elvis Presley, with whom Peterson became a friend.
In 1960, Peterson created his own record label with his manager Stan Shulman, called Dunes Records, and enlisted the help of record producer Phil Spector. Peterson scored a Top 10 hit with the teenage tragedy song, "Tell Laura I Love Her",
and followed that success with "Corrine, Corrina" Peterson's dramatic ballad, "I Could Have Loved You So Well", written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil and produced by Spector, only reached #57 on the U.S. chart. He then tried another death disc,
"Give Us Your Blessing," but this time nobody was interested.
His last charting hit was "Missing You." By the mid 1960s he had become something of a phenomenon on the west coast of the United States, appearing live in numerous concerts with Paul McCartney lookalike, Keith Allison.
His performances at the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium, produced by Fred Vail, beginning in 1963 helped fuel a revival of "The Wonder of You," as well as launching his new relationship with MGM Records, an alliance that produced two albums;
The Very Best of Ray Peterson which featured most of the Dunes singles, and The Other Side of Ray Peterson, which included many of his nightclub songs. He later moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and by the 1970s when the hit records stopped coming,
Peterson became a Baptist Church minister and occasionally played the oldies music circuit.
Peterson was inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.
Peterson died of cancer in 2005, in Smyrna, Tennessee, aged 65. He left a widow and four sons and three daughters. He was interred in the Roselawn Memorial Gardens cemetery in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

Na današnji dan...
Edgar Rice Burroughs – autor Tarzana kralja džungle – 1875.
Nakon uspjeha s Tarzanom, Edgar Rice Burroughs kupio je velik ranč u Kaliforniji, sjeverozapadno od Los Angelesa. Nazvao ga je Tarzana i napravio je od njega dobar posao.
Naime, kad se okolica Los Angelesa urbanizirala, Burroughs je prodavao građevinske čestice s tog zemljišta.
Dana 1. rujna 1875. godine rođen je poznati autor Tarzana – Edgar Rice Burroughs. Rodio se u Chicagu, a život je proveo u SAD-u, za razliku od njegovog lika Tarzana,
kojeg povezujemo s Afrikom i Engleskom.
Burroughs se u mladosti pokušao upisati na znameniti West Point, no nije uspio, pa je umjesto toga jedno vrijeme bio vojnik u konjičkoj diviziji. Kasnije je radio niz privremenih poslova,
a ozbiljno se baviti pisanjem počeo je tek u srednjim tridesetim godinama života, i to dok je radio kao prodavač uredskog pribora. Prva priča bilo mu je znanstveno-fantastično djelo
Pod Marsovim mjesecima (engl. Under the Moons of Mars). Izgleda da je mu je bitna motivacija za pisanje bila zarada, jer je već imao dvoje djece koju je trebalo izdržavati (uskoro je dobio i treće dijete).
Prvo djelo o Tarzanu objavljeno je Burroughsu 1912. godine. Lik Tarzana pokazao se izvanredno uspješnim, a Burroughs je odlučio eksploatirati tu činjenicu pomoću svih medija – knjiga, stripova, pa čak i filmova.
To se pokazalo dobrim potezom, a lik Tarzana stekao je kultni status.
Nakon uspjeha s Tarzanom, Burroughs je kupio velik ranč u Kaliforniji, sjeverozapadno od Los Angelesa. Nazvao ga je Tarzana i napravio je od njega dobar posao. Naime, kad se okolica Los Angelesa urbanizirala,
Burroughs je prodavao građevinske čestice s tog zemljišta. Danas je to gradska četvrt šireg Los Angelesa i naziva se još uvijek Tarzana. Zanimljivo je da na širem području Tarzane danas živi preko 37.000 ljudi.
Edgar Rice Burroughs napisao je tijekom karijere povelik broj djela. Zanimljivo je da je osim o Tarzanu pisao još o mnogim drugim junacima, i to iz raznih žanrova. Primjerice, pisao je vesterne, akcijske avanture, znanstvenu fantastiku, pa čak i povijesnu fikciju. |
