Sheppard emerged in the mid-'70s as one of the leading country-pop singers, bringing the music closer to the rock-influenced, cosmopolitain sounds of urban cowboy. T.G. Sheppard continued to chart well throughout the latter half of the '80s, and between 1986 and 1987 he had a one number one single and three number two records in a row ("Strong Heart," "Half Past Forever (Till I'm Blue in the Heart)," "You're My First Lady," "One for the Money)," after he switched labels and signed to Columbia. However, his audience dipped dramatically in 1988, when his radio-ready sound became usurped by a number of new traditionalist performers like Dwight Yoakam, Randy Travis and George Strait. Between 1989 and 1990, he didn't record at all, and he was dropped by Columbia. In 1991, he returned to the charts with the Curb/Capitol single "Born in a High Wind," but he didn't remain with the label long. For the remainderof the '90s, he continued to tour and play concerts across a country, all the time lacking a new record contract. All Music Guide | |
