J.C. Crowley

Born November 13, 1947 in Houston, Texas. An award-winning artist who has blazed his own trail as a songwriter, singer, musician, composer, screenwriter and poet, J.C. Crowley is an American original. After a series of rugged jobs ranging from ranch hand in Texas to forest-fire fighter and boat pilot in Alaska, the fourth-generation Texan co-founded pop-rock band Player. He made two gold albums with the band and co-wrote its No. 1 single, “Baby Come Back” (1978), which continues to be featured in movies, TV shows and national ad campaigns. As a solo act in the 1980s, Crowley broke new ground with “Paint the Town and Hang the Moon Tonight,” a rockabilly roof-shaker that climbed to No.
