Troy
Cory
-
A
Short
Biography
----"I
was the youngest of six children," said
Troy, during a recent TV interview with
columnist/tv host, Larry Leverett,
of "Hollywood Beat." "My
grandfather was Nathan B. Stubblefield,
the inventor of the "wireless telephone"
and the original Radio
Boy."
----Q.
It seems the career of your grandfather,
Nathan B. Stubblefield - - and you,
Troy Cory Stubblefield, started in
radio, and both of you have had
similar experiences in receiving what's
due, from the business
world.
----A.
"Except my grandfather Nathan invented
"radio" -- then patented it in 1907, as
the wireless telephone --
something that no man can ever
repeat!"
 "It's
a hard act to follow," said Troy
Cory.
"The only
thing I've been able to do for radio
broadcasting is sing and own a few
stations." But anyway, I've perfected a
relaxed smooth type of musical performance
that seems to reflect the story of love,
romance and the lonely -- the type that
only a Huckleberry Finn or a Tom Sawyer
type of guy would appreciate."
Troy has
been able to direct and produce --
many televion
shows for many other singing artists and
has "picked up" from them -- on how to
present his own albums of popular
contemporary songs with the emotional
understatement that seems to dominate
English pop and western
music.
----A most
talented and equally-loved American
performer, his collection of songs has
given Troy the full opportunity to sample
his easygoing charm -- whether the music
be slow, romantic, pop or in a Country and
Western feel.
----Most
of Troy's Country songs were recorded in
Worcestershire, England at Muff Merfin's
"Old Smithy's," and Munich, Germany is the
place where most of his pop and big band
sounds were recorded.
A
few of the Troy Cory songs now heard
throughout the world and webcast on
"YouTube," and
"LookRadio"
were first recorded in the mid-50s when
Troy was a teenager.
---- The
60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, television shows,
prepared Troy for today's world of the
Internet.
---- Troy's
first recordings were released by
Specialty Records, Mercury Records, BBC
RadioPlay Music, Cinema Prize and
VRA TelePlay Music. During the past
20 years, the RadioPlay music was
"specially" recorded as a sales tool, to
reach out to the English music marketplace
within the British Commonwealth and the
People's Republic of China."

Troy
Cory is an entertainer with a smooth,
friendly
style, that makes it easy to interpret. On

back to.
