THAT REMINDS ME OF: Billy Joe Royal.

When this Georgia-born singer recorded a demo of his friend Joe South’s song “Down in the Boondocks”, he didn’t see much potential in it. But Columbia Records got ahold of it, signed Billy up, and made “Down in the Boondocks” one of the biggest hits of 1965.

Royal had a few more hits in the late '60s. As his pop-star power cooled, he settled into a routine of Las Vegas appearances and small acting roles. Then, in the '80s, Billy Joe Royal came storming back, this time on the country charts with hits like “Love Has No Right”, “Burned Like a Rocket”, and “I’ll Pin a Note on Your Pillow”. He kept touring until his death in 2015, playing a setlist of classics from across the decades, to audiences that spanned generations.
