Posted on x by Chris Taylor

Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame member Dick Damron died Saturday at age 91, leaving behind a storied legacy in country music. Born Joseph Glenn Damron, the Alberta native first made waves as a rockabilly artist in 1959 before cementing his name as a mainstream country star.

Damron’s journey began far from the stage. A former rodeo rider and oil-well laborer, he debuted with a gritty edge, later refining his sound in Nashville with the famed A-Team. From 1970 to 1991, he landed 38 singles on the RPM Country Hit charts, including 14 top-10 hits. His first two singles, “Countryfied” and “Rise and Shine,” soared to No. 1 in 1971. He repeated that success with “On The Road” in 1976 and “Susan Flowers” in 1977.

A prolific songwriter, Damron penned country and gospel tunes recorded by icons like Charley Pride, Wilf Carter, and George Hamilton IV. Artists Carroll Baker and Terry Carisse also brought his work to life. Known for his “outlaw” persona, he carved a distinct niche in the genre. In his later years, duets with Ginny Mitchell and Ray Griff showcased his enduring appeal.
