Don King
Don King is a Nashville resident of over 25 years duration. He is a successful songwriter
with cuts by recording artists Reba McEntire, Sawyer Brown, The Oak Ridge Boys and
others.
Singer/songwriter Don King first learned to play trumpet in high school, and took up
classical guitar at age 14 after learning to play the electric guitar. Born and raised in
Nebraska, he got his professional start playing in Omaha clubs.
His first job in Nashville was playing at the Quality Inn Hotel club for two years, where
he met important people in the music business. He used his connections to get a contract
with Con Brio Records and in 1976 made his chart debut with "Cabin High (In the Blue
Ridge Mountains)". The following year, he had his first Top 20 hit with "I've Got You to
Come Home To," which was followed by two other medium-level hits and his first
album, Dreams and Things.
In 1978, he released his second album, Feelings So Right, and had four Top 30 hits,
including "Music Is My Woman." In 1979, the single "Lonely Hotel" made it to the Top
40. He had two more hits the following year and began touring with Alabama, Reba
McEntire, John Anderson, the Oak Ridge Boys, Conway Twitty, and Tammy Wynette,
among others. He scored a Top 40 hit with his cover of Johnny Cash's "I Still Miss
Someone" in 1981 and had another with "The Closer You Get" while completing his
album, Whirlwind. At the end of the year, he launched the Don King Music Group with
his father. They built a 24-track studio in 1985 to record demos and added a video
production company in 1992.
He’s also affectionately referred to as “the voice of the TWRA”, having been the
spokesman for the agency’s Public Service Announcements on state wide radio since
1975. His connection to the outdoors dates back to his youth, hunting pheasant in
Nebraska. Don co-wrote and sings the theme song for Tennessee’s Wild Side.
