Bobby Bare

Bare’s big break in Country Music came when Chet Atkins signed him to RCA Victor. His debut single for the label was 1962’s “Shame On Me”. Follow-up “Detroit City” reached No. 6 Country, No. 16 Hot 100, and in 1964 earned him a Grammy Award for Best Country & Western Recording. Then a surge of hits followed, including “500 Miles Away from Home” and Ian Tyson’s “Four Strong Winds”. In 1965 he received two further Grammy nominations for Best Country & Western Vocal Performance and Best Country & Western single for the latter song. In 1966, he received yet another Grammy Nomination for Best Country & Western Male Vocal Performance for his song “Talk Me Some Sense”. He also recorded two duet albums with Skeeter Davis and recorded six tracks as a trio with Norma Jean and Liz Anderson, which produced a major hit with “The Game of Triangles”, a wife-husband-other woman drama that hit No. 5 on the Billboard chart and earned the trio a Grammy nomination. In 1969, he had a Top 5 hit with Tom T. Hall’s “(Margie’s At) The Lincoln Park Inn”.

On April 10, 2013, the CMA announced that Bare would be a 2013 inductee into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

After being inducted in the 1960s but gradually drifting away, Bare was reinstated as a member of the Grand Ole Opry on April 7, 2018, by Garth Brooks.
