Carl Belew 4/21/1931 ~ 10/ 31/1990 Carl Belew was born in Salina, Oklahoma on April 21, 1931. Like many aspiring artists of the Mid-50s, Carl switched from making small rockabilly records to country music. Carl was introduced to Four Star Records in 1955 by Marvin Rainwater (Gonna Find Me a Bluebird) and subsequently released the rockabilly singles "Cool Gator Shoes" and "Folding Money." After that, he won an amateur contest in Pasadena, California which led to a recording contract with Decca Records. With backing from the major label, Carl launched his recording career in the country music arena. During that time, he made appearances on a pair of radio programs; Town Hall Party and The Cliffie Stone Show. From there he had a brief stint on the famed Louisiana Hayride and then in 1959 he relocated to Nashville. The move allowed him the opportunity to appear on the Grand Ole Opry and continue pursuing his recording aspirations. Carl's breakthrough composition "Stop the World (And Let Me Off)" hit the Top 10 in 1958, when Johnnie & Jack released their rendition of the song. The song was later covered by Patsy Cline. The following year, Andy Williams hit the Top 5 with "Lonely Street," a song which would become Carl's trademark tune thanks to a cover by Patsy Cline. Gene Vincent, Tony Booth and Rex Allen, Jr., also covered the song. Carl wrote "Am I That Easy to Forget," a Top 40 pop hit for actress Debbie Reynolds that was subsequently recorded by Engelbert Humperdinck .... + Informações

Country ..cd available www.cdbaby.comBorn Carl Robert Belew, 21 April 1931, Salina, Oklahoma Died 31 October 1990, Salina, Oklahoma Carl Belew is one of a long list of performers who moved on from making small rockabilly records to country music fame as both a singer and songwriter. His rockers include Cool Gator Shoes and Folding Money on Four Star for whom he made his debut in 1955 after being brought to the company's attention by Marvin Rainwater. His big breakthrough came when Johnnie And Jack took Belew's Stop The World (And Let Me Off) into the charts (# 7 country in 1958). It's a great song which was covered in blistering style by Waylon Jennings for an early RCA single. Lonely Street was also a turning point for him, the ballad becoming a Top 10 hit for Andy Williams, and covered in fine style by our Shaker Gene Vincent. Gene seemed to like the ink that flowed from Belew's pen, cutting a cover of Am I That Easy To Forget? which was a # 9 country hit for Carl himself and a pop hit for Debbie Reynolds in 1960. Eight years later it hit in the UK for Engelbert Humperdinck. Other notable cover versions came from Jim Reeves and Don Gibson. Strangely for such a great writer, he scored two hits with Crystal Chandeliers and Hello Out There, neither of which he penned. Other songwriting success came with Eddy Arnold's US country number 1, What's He Doing In My World? (1965). I've never heard That's When I See the Blues in Your Pretty Brown Eyes, but what a great title. He .... + Informações
