T.G. Sheppard

T.G. Sheppard, a talented country singer with a honey-voiced croon, rose to fame with two number one hits in 1975. He reached his peak in the early '80s with smooth, seductive hits like "Do You Wanna Go to Heaven," showcasing his warm vocals. Transitioning to live performances in the '90s, Sheppard continued to tour and record new music, including the 2019 album Midnight in Memphis.

Born William Neal Browder in Humboldt, Tennessee, Sheppard began his music career in Memphis after high school, working in various roles in the record industry. His early success as a backup vocalist led him to a career in record promotion, where he helped break hits for artists like Elvis Presley and John Denver. Despite facing setbacks and label changes, Sheppard established himself as a country star with a string of Top Ten hits in the late '70s and '80s, but saw a decline in popularity in the late '80s with the rise of new traditionalist performers. Nonetheless, he continued to perform live and released new albums in the following decades, showcasing his enduring passion for music.
