Talk:Alex Harvey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He wrote " Delta Dawn" for Helen Reddy, what was the story behind the song?
Might there be two Alex Harveys, then? This page discusses Alex Harvey and "Delta Dawn" in terms that strongly suggest he ain't our boy:
- Alex Harvey’s songs stick in the mind long after the performance is finished. As a songwriter, he has created some of the hits of the seventies, among them the haunting “Delta Dawn” and “Reuben James.”
- Alex Harvey wanted to be a performer as far back as he can remember, from his childhood in Brownsville, Tennessee, where he first heard black gospel music and, via radio, The Grand Ole Opry. He participated in high school and college productions, either on stage, backstage or both and earned a master’s degree in music from Murray State University in Kentucky. While acting in a summer drama there, Harvey met Billy Edd Wheeler, a singer/songwriter who was also playing a role in the production. That was a turning point in Harvey’s life.

Hi,
I'm a bit suprised that this has no mention of what i think is Alex's last album "the Mafia Stole My Guitar". While not the best, there's still some good stuff on that last album. It seems more of a SAHB article than an Alex Harvey article.
The discography is certainly incomplete. Gordonbell 10:27, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
