Early life

Randy Barlow was born on March 29, 1943 in Detroit, Michigan to Hugh and Dessie Moore.[2] Barlow began playing guitar at 6 years of age after receiving a toy guitar as a Christmas gift from his father. Later, the family relocated to the western Detroit suburb of Garden City, and Barlow's father Hugh went to work at General Motors' Willow Run Transmission plant, an experience Barlow would later immortalize in a charting single. In high school, Barlow played guitar in a local rock and roll band called The Royal Lancers. After high school, Barlow attended Western Kentucky University, where he and fellow students formed a band called E.A. Poe and the Ravens. It was during this period that he developed his musical style, and changed his last name to Barlow.[3]

The year 1979 brought a nomination for Best New Male Artist from the Academy of Country Music, and a television appearance on "Hee Haw" alongside Gene Autry and the Statler Brothers, during which Barlow sang "Sweet Melinda."[7] Barlow toured nationally while releasing eight more singles and four albums in the period from 1976–1983, on the Republic label and later the Paid label.
