Singer-songwriter, guitarist, painter, television producer
Daughter born, 10 December 1974.
Country and pop singer, songwriter and guitarist.
Had a million-selling country and pop smash hit, "Honey," in 1968. "Honey" is one of a select few singles to reach No. 1 on both Billboard magazines country (three weeks) and Hot 100 (five weeks) charts.
Started out in a band called the Webs, who were opening for Roy Orbison on tour when he abruptly invited them to become his new backup band. His years touring and recording with Orbison prepared him for his solo career.
Wore contact lenses for years, and recommended them to John Lennon when they met on tour with Roy Orbison. Unfortunately, hard lenses (the only kind available at the time) werent exactly compatible with the jellybabies thrown by The Beatles s fans, which occasionally hit Lennon in the face and eyes, and he soon gave up on contacts.
Had a reputation for occasional clumsiness (such as cutting his bare foot on a Rice Krispie left on the floor), which he took in stride; he told fans in the liner notes to his "Tenth Anniversary Album" that stories theyd heard about it were probably true.
His other country hit was 1971s "Watching Scotty Grow". Mac Davis wrote the song for his son Scotty, and both men joked that the boy now thought Goldsboro was his dad.
His famous tree-frog impression was often mis-identified as a cricket.
Has created, written and produced at least 52 episodes of the childrens video series "The Swamp Critters of Lost Lagoon" . In addition, he voices all of the characters played by costumed actors and puppets.
Has written and performs (in assorted voices) more than 100 new songs for his "Swamp Critters" childrens video series.
Good friend of Glen Campbell.
(January 2005) Appeared in concert in Florida at Silver Springs
His 1973 song "Summer (The First Time)" was voted Best Summer Song in a British music poll.
