Born in 1946 and raised in Versailles, Kentucky, on a tobacco farm, John Conlee's music career began at a very early age. At ten years old, young John was playing guitar and performing on a local radio station and in a barbershop quartet. Conlee, however, didn't pursue a singing career, and became a licensed mortician. He did continue working as a local disc jockey for several radio stations, providing him with connections, which led to his 1971 move to Nashville.

In 1976, ABC offered Conlee a contract; but it wasn't until his 1978 release of the hit "Rose Colored Glasses" when he broke into the Top Five and earned the Academy of Country Music's Top New Male Vocalist award. His melancholy voice earned acclaim in Nashville, and he continued to produce chart breaking hits: "Lady Lay Down" and "Backside of Thirty" in 1979 both ranked number one. 1981 brought four more hits, ranking number two, "Before My Time," "Friday Night Blues," "She Can't Say That Anymore," and "Miss Emily's Picture."

He returned to top the charts over the next few years, boasting 19 Top Ten hits from 1978 to 1987, among them "Common Man" and the number one "Got My Heart Set On You" in 1986. Conlee currently spends much of his time on his farm near Nashville and frequently does charity work for American farmers.
