Biography [link]

Born in Springfield, Missouri,[1] Lowe graduated from the University of Missouri in Columbia.

His most notable run as a disc jockey was with WNEW-AM in New York. Lowe also worked at WNBC-AM in New York where he was heard both locally and on the coast-to-coast NBC Radio weekend program Monitor.

A million-seller and gold record recipient, Lowe's 1956 hit "Green Door" was written by Marvin Moore and Bob Davie.[1] The song reached No. 8 in the UK Singles Chart in November 1956.[2] Lowe earlier wrote "Gambler's Guitar", a million-selling hit for Rusty Draper in 1953.[3]

He retired in 2004 at the age of 77, and lives in Southampton, New York.[4]

For contributions to the music industry, Lowe was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6341 Hollywood Boulevard.[5]

Four Walls

by: Jim Lowe

Out where the bright lights are glowing
You're drawn like a moth to a flame
You laugh while the wine's over-flowing
While I sit and whisper your name
Four walls to hear me
Four walls to see
Four walls too near me
Clo-osing in on me
Sometimes I ask why I'm waiting
But my walls have nothing to say
I'm made for love, not for waiting
But here where you've left me, I'll stay
Four walls to hear me
Four walls to see
Four walls too near me
Clo-osing in on me
One night with you is like heaven
And so, while I'm walking the floor
I'll listen for steps in the hallway
And wait for your knock on my door
Four walls to hear me
Four walls to see
Four walls too near me
Clo-osing in on me
