"This Time" Troy Shondell Official Music Video
Troy Shondell (born Gary Shelton,[1] May 14, 1940,[2] Fort Wayne, Indiana[1]) is an American vocalist, who achieved a modicum of fame and recognition in the early 1960s. He became a transatlantic one-hit wonder, by releasing a single that made the record charts in both the US and the UK.[3][4] The song, "This Time" (or sometimes billed as "This Time (We're Really Breaking Up)" sold over one million records, earning gold disc status.[5] Indeed, in a single year, sales rose to more than three million copies.[1]
Biography
Shondell was born and raised in Indiana and was educated at Valparaiso University and Indiana University. He wrote his first song at age 14, which was recorded by Little Anthony & The Imperials. Shondell also learned to play five musical instruments.[5] His professional music career started whilst he was still a teenager. Mercury Records released his first single, "My Hero," from The Chocolate Soldier, which he recorded in 1958 under his real name of Gary Shelton.[1]
He followed the next year with "Kissin' At the Drive In," a rockabilly song that went on to become a drive-in theater standard. Shondell seemed to be on his way, at least in the Midwest. Chicago's Brass Rail, a major nightclub that usually hosted jazz and blues acts, brought him in for its first foray into rock and roll. The successful gig stretched to 16 weeks.[1] In 1959, Mark Records released "The Trance" and "Goodbye Little Darlin'". These sold well in the Midwest and a few other areas, but neither made it into the Top 40 of the national Billboard record chart. The same year, the singer opened shows on a tour called Shower of Stars for such headliners as Chuck Berry, The Impalas, Frankie Ford, Frankie Avalon, and The Skyliners.[1]
The singer cited his father as a major influence, along with Little Richard, Elvis Presley, and Buddy Holly. A song Shondell wrote about his father's death in 1960 from a heart attack, "Still Loving You," became a country hit when it was recorded by Bob Luman. Shondell's father's demise caused a stutter in his career, and he briefly returned to help run the family business.[1]
In April 1961, he recorded "This Time". The record was released during the last week in June on the tiny Gaye label. It was picked up by the small Los Angeles Goldcrest label, and sold ten thousand copies during the first week.[1] Six weeks after being released and played in Chicago, Shondell flew to Los Angeles and signed with Liberty Records. It finally hit the Billboard charts the first week of September, and landed in the Top 10 four weeks later, peaking at number six, and staying in the charts for a total of sixteen weeks.[1][3] The track reached #22 in the UK Singles Chart at the end of that year.[4]
"Tears From An Angel" was his follow-up recording, released in March 1962. No further chart action was forthcoming, and Shondell quietly slipped away from the music industry the following year (despite his 3rd single, "Na-Ne-No" was produced by Phil Spector). However, in 1963, Tommy Jackson changed the name of his high school band from Tom and the Tornados to the Shondells in honor of Troy Shondell (one of his musical idols).[1] Jackson became Tommy James and international fame followed for the act.
In 1968 Shondell became a songwriter for Acuff-Rose Music in Nashville, Tennessee and the first recording artist for TRX Records, a branch of Hickory Records for whom Shondell made some popular discs until 1969 when he went into the music publishing field. In October 1969, Shondell was apppointed as Assistant Regional Director for ASCAP's Southern Regional Office in Nashville.[5]
In 2001, Shondell was still performing at nostalgia shows and other events. From his home in Nashville, he also composes and produces. Along with Jimmy Clanton, Ronnie Dove, and the now deceased Ray Peterson, Shondell was a member of the Masters of Rock 'n' Roll.[1]
On October 2, 2007, Shondell traveled to Collins, Mississippi, to deliver the musical tribute to his fallen rock and roll colleague, Dale Houston, who had reached #1 in 1963 with "I'm Leaving It Up to You."
