Bobby Helms (15 Agustus 1933 – 19 Juni 1997) adalah seorang musisi dan penyanyi Country berkebangsaan Amerika Serikat. Pada tahun 1957, dia memiliki sebuah lagu andalan Natal yang abadi lewat "Jingle Bell Rock," dan dua hits lainnya pada tahun yang sama: "Fraulein" dan "My Special Angel."
Biografi
Kehidupan awal
Robert Lee Helms lahir pada tanggal 15 Agustus 1933, di Bloomington, Indiana (beberapa sumber mengatakan dekat Helmsburg), putra dari Hildreth Esther dan Fred Robert Helms.[2][3] Keluarganya merupakan musisi.
Karier
Bobby mulai tampil sebagai sebuah duet musik bersama saudaranya, Freddie, sebelum melanjutkan sebuah karier solo yang sukses dalam musik Country. Pada tahun 1956, Bobby pergi ke Nashville, Tennessee, di mana dia menandatangani sebuah kontrak rekaman dengan Decca Records, dan mencapai banyak kesuksesan pada tahun berikutnya. Single pertamanya pada tahun 1957, bertajuk "Fraulein," menjadi jawara tangga lagu Country dan masuk ke dalam 40 besar di tangga lagu, Billboard Best Sellers in Stores. Kemudian, pada tahun yang sama, Bobby merilis lagu "My Special Angel," yang juga mencapai posisi jawara di tangga lagu Country dan masuk 10 besar di tangga lagu Pop, berada di posisi ketujuh. Itu terjual satu juta lebih kopi, mendapatkan sebuah cakram Emas.[4]
Lagu Bobby, "Jingle Bell Rock," yang dirilis pada musim gugur tahun 1957, diproduseri oleh Paul Cohen,[5] merupakan sebuah lagu andalan besar. Itu terjual dengan sangat baik sehingga terulang setiap saat sebagai sebuah lagu teratas, menjadi sebuah klasik Natal yang masih diputar hingga saat ini, dan dikover oleh Randy Travis.[6] Lagu "Jingle Bell Rock" berada di posisi keenam di Billboard Hot 100 dan menghabiskan 21 pekan di tangga lagu.[7] Rekaman tersebut memperoleh status cakram Emas.[7]
Saya tidak ingin membawakan lagu itu saat pertama kali dibawakan kepada saya, tapi sekarang saya sangat senang melakukannya.
— Bobby Helms[8]
James Boothe, James Ross, Joseph Beal, dan Joseph Carlton, merupakan pencipta lagu "Jingle Bell Rock," dicantumkan oleh beberapa sumber termasuk AllMusic.
Rekaman Bobby lainnya adalah "Schoolboy Crush," yang menjadi andalan di Inggris. Album ini dirilis di Amerika Serikat pada 23 Juni 1958, lewat Decca. Kemudian, lagu yang sama dikover oleh bintang remaja asal Inggris, Cliff Richard, sekitar waktu yang sama dengan perilisan di Inggris.
Kontribusi Bobby yang inovatif terhadap genre ini telah diakui oleh Rockabilly Hall of Fame.
Dia diperankan oleh Brad Hawkins di film tahun 2007, Crazy.
Kematian
Bobby mulai memakai sebuah penutup mata selepas kehilangan penglihatan pada mata kanannya. Bobby Helms wafat akibat komplikasi emfisema pada umur 64 tahun pada tanggal 19 Juni 1997. Dia merupakan penduduk lama Martinsville, Indiana.[9]
