Pam Tillis
| Biography |
The eldest of the five children of country singer Mel Tillis, Pam gained her first country chart success in 1984, with 'Goodbye Highway'. In 1986-87, she managed four more minor hits, including 'Those Memories Of You'.
In 1990 she joined Arista Records. Her first single for the label, 'Don't Tell Me What To Do', became a Top 5 country hit and finally launched her career. 'One Of Those Things', originally released five years earlier on Warner, quickly followed and peaked at number 6. During the next two years, further Top 5 hits followed with 'Maybe It Was Memphis', 'Shake The Sugar Tree' and 'Let The Pony Run'. Her own compositions accounted for more than half of the songs on her first two Arista albums and included the autobiographical 'Melancholy Child' and 'Homeward Looking Angel', which she co-wrote with new husband Bob DiPiero. Her rocking #11 hit, 'Cleopatra, Queen Of Denial', also proved a popular video. In 1994, she registered further hits that included 'Spilled Perfume', her version of Jackie DeShannon 's 'When You Walk In The Room' and her own 1995 #1, 'Mi Vida Loca' (My Crazy Life). |
