He was known for his deep voice and comic on-stage banter. Born in Lancaster, South Carolina, Faile got his start on local radio in 1946 with Snuffy Jenkins, Homer Sherrill and the Hired Hands on WIS in Columbia, South Carolina.[1] Faile also appeared on national radio in 1949 on "Philip Morris Night with Horace Heidt".[2] In 1951, he joined Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith's Crackerjacks as a bass player and singer. Faile also sang bass for Smith's gospel group, The Crossroads Quartet. Faile remained with Smith for eighteen years, and later had his own television show in the early 1970s, which aired on WBTV in Charlotte, North Carolina.[3] In 1995, he joined Curly Howard's radio program on WKMT.[4] He died of a heart attack in 1998.[5] References1. ^{{cite encyclopedia |last= Jones|first= Loyal|author= |authorlink= |coauthors= |editor= |encyclopedia= Country Music Humorists and Comedians|title= Tommy Faile|url= |accessdate= |language= |edition= |year= 2008|publisher= University of Illinois Press|volume= |location= Champaign, IL|id= |isbn= 978-0-252-03369-8|oclc= |doi= |pages= 156|quote= |ref= }} 2. ^Tommy Faile Gives Good Account of Himself on NBC's 'Phillip Morris Night' Broadcast {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090711154226/http://btmemories.com/articles/faile/tommy_faile.htm |date=2009-07-11 }}, Lancaster News, February 1949 (via BT Memories) 3. ^[https://www.myspace.com/tommyfaile Tommy Faile] (Myspace) 4. ^Joe DePriest, "Tommy Faile: Still Singing, Playing Country Music," The Charlotte Observer, April 27, 1995. 5. ^Obituary (excerpt) External links
