Steve Forbert

Steve Forbert, born in 1954 in Meridian, Mississippi, could easily be classified as a one-hit wonder for his song "Romeo's Tune", which reached number 9 on the Billboard chart in 1980. The single, dedicated to the memory of Florence Ballard, came from the album Jackrabbit Slim, issued in 1979 by Nemperor/CBS Records. Critics hailed him at the time as "The new Bob Dylan" because of a similar vocal timbre and thoughtful songwriting. The front cover of Jackrabbit Slim encourages such comparisons with its simplicity: a black and white photo of Steve Forbert playing a well-worn Martin acoustic guitar with a capo on it, his shirt tinted green. He looks like a folk singer. The record was recorded in Nashville. Personnel on Jackrabbit Slim:
