• Hank Locklin

  • From: JerryMac
  • Description:

    Hank Locklin, one of the most celebrated names in country and western music who died on March 8 aged 91, had a huge hit in 1960 with Please Help Me, I'm Falling, considered among the most successful country singles of the rock and roll era.

    Locklin's songs epitomised the rich vocal and instrumental style known as the "Nashville Sound". Rated one of the greatest tenors in the genre, he possessed a distinctive nasal voice ideally suited to the lachrymose ballads in which he specialised. His first big success came in 1958 with Send Me the Pillow That You Dream On, a song he had written in 1949. At the time of his death he had just released his 65th album, By the Grace of God, a collection of gospel songs.

    His recording of Send Me the Pillow That You Dream On made the song a standard, with cover versions recorded by Dean Martin, Johnny Tillotson, Roy Rogers, Dolly Parton and Dwight Yoakam among others.

    Locklin enjoyed a particularly large following in Ireland, where he was voted most popular country singer for five consecutive years. In the United States he became a revered figure both on stage and backstage at the Grand Ole Opry – the Nashville theatre from which country music's celebrated radio show of the same name is broadcast – and he was the oldest living member of the Opry regulars.

    Lawrence Hankins Locklin was born on February 15 1918 at McLellan in the Florida panhandle. He claimed Scottish and Irish ancestry, and that a forebear had captained a ship to Maine in the early 18th century.

    At the age of nine Hank was bedridden after being struck by a school bus, and passed the time learning to play the guitar. He had already begun singing at the local church where his mother, Hattie, played piano.

    After leaving school in the 1930s he picked cotton and worked on farms and in road-building gangs, singing in clubs in the evenings and at weekends across the southern states. He made his radio debut singing on a station at Pensacola, strumming his guitar for instrumental backing. In 1948 Locklin and his band, The Rocky Mountain Playboys, landed a morning radio show in Houston, Texas. He made his first record on the Gold Star label in the same year before joining Four Star Records in 1949. In 1954 he had a number two hit with Let Me Be The One before signing to Decca later that year.

    A switch to the RCA label in 1957 led to a string of major hits, notably Send Me The Pillow That You Dream On, which spent 35 weeks in the country music charts. Other hits for Locklin included Geisha Girl (1957), Happy Journey (1961), Happy Birthday To Me (1962), and The Country Hall Of Fame (1968). He also enjoyed a long recording career with RCA Victor.

    In 1960 his single Please Help Me, I'm Falling, written by Don Robertson, topped the country music charts, and went to number eight on the Billboard American hot 100 pop music chart. It was listed in Billboard magazine's 100th anniversary issue as the second most successful country single of modern times. The song was nominated for a Grammy Award.

    Success enabled Locklin to buy his own ranch, the Singing L, near McLellan, in the mid-1960s, and he was made honorary mayor of his home town. When Locklin re-recorded Please Help Me, I'm Falling in 1970 with Danny Davis and the Nashville Brass, the song charted a second time. Although he never had another hit on the same scale, he continued releasing singles throughout the 1970s.

    Locklin had a strong following in Europe, where he toured frequently, and such was his popularity in Ireland that in 1963 he recorded an album called Irish Songs Country Style.

    In 1989 BBC Television broadcast a documentary Bringing It All Back Home, in which the Irish group U2 performed one of Locklin's most beautiful songs, Wild Irish Rose (1964). "The Lord gave me a good voice and I can still sing," said Locklin later in his career. "I've recorded with the best musicians in the business and have called many of country music's biggest stars my friends."

    Last month the Alabama Music Hall of Fame acquired one of Locklin's stage costumes, a cream and gold two-piece suit, complete with sequins and bell bottom trousers, "It's kind of a funky-looking thing," said his son, Hank Adam Locklin, who survives him.
