Tommy Heath(I)
- Actor
- Soundtrack
Growing up as an Air Force brat exposed Heath to a smörgåsbord of
musical influences. From his grade school days in Texas listening to
Buddy Holly and Elvis, to high school in Montana when surf and folk
music held his attention, on to his early college days in Japan when he
was caught in the tidal wave of Beatle-mania that hit that country with
a vengeance. With three albums of work from the 80s, a European
released pop-means-R&B album entitled Nervous Love in the mid-90s, and
immortality status from any number of New Wave compilations, Heath
maintains he's never stopped writing, recording and performing.
Although he pays his bills with work as a software engineer, he's
always thought of himself as a musician and performer first. Thus, the
tag "come back" doesn't really resonate with this artist who's phone
number song served as the soundtrack to the lives of millions over two
decades ago.
