Biographie
[modifier | modifier le code]Début de carrière
[modifier | modifier le code]Bare propose vainement ses chansons dès les années 1950. Il signe finalement avec Capitol Records et enregistre quelques morceaux de rock 'n' roll, sans succès. Son jour de chance arrive en 1959, alors qu'il part faire son service militaire. Il réalise une démonstration de The All-American Boy pour son ami Bill Parsons, et la compagnie Fraternity Records décide de diffuser la démo plutôt que l'enregistrement réalisé ensuite. C'est un succès au Billboard, toutefois publié sous le nom de Bill Parsons[1],[2].
