In continuing this week's tribute to Tim Curry, today we are featuring his music career. Here he is looking a bit Rick Springfield-ish. "’I was a boy soprano,'’ Tim explains. ‘’I sang in church from the age of 6 or 7, which I guess started it really.'’
Tim had originally started working on a studio album with Lou Adler, executive producer of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, in 1976, but the album never came to fruition. However, Tim still craved a music career, and off the back of the Rocky Horror phenomenon brewing in the States, he began to work with A&M Records, making three studio albums between 1978 and 1981. Bob Ezrin produced the first of these albums, "Read My Lips."
Although none of the albums were a commercial success, Tim had a minor hit with “I Do The Rock” from his 1979 album Fearless when it reached number 53 on the American Billboard Chart. Tim toured America and Germany in the late 1970s with a band including famed guitarist Dick Wagner. In 1981, Tim released his third and final album, Simplicity. There is also a CD entitled "The Best of Tim Curry." Tim says, "They couldn't call it the Greatest Hits, because there weren't any.’’
He will always be a rockstar to us!
