JERRY FULLER was born into a country music family in Fort Worth, Texas in 1938. He signed to Gene Autry’s ‘Challenge’ label in 1959 and hit with “Tennesssee Waltz� ahead of penning the six-million seller for “Travelin’ Man� for Ricky Nelson (although it was intended for Sam Cooke). The self-penned “Double Life� was released in ‘66 and later achieved iconic status in the UK.
