Gene Allison : ウィキペディア英語版 | Gene Allison Gene Allison (August 29, 1934 – February 28, 2004) was an American R&B singer. Born Versie Eugene Allison in Pegram, Tennessee, he grew up in Nashville, Tennessee singing in the church choir with his brother Leevert. As a teenager, Allison was offered a chance to sing with The Fairfield Four and, later, The Skylarks. Record producer Ted Jarrett signed Allison to Calvert Records to record secular music; soon after Jarrett got him a recording contract with Vee-Jay Records along with Larry Birdsong. Allison's debut single was "You Can Make it If You Try", released in 1957; it became a hit in the U.S., where it entered the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart in early 1959. Allison would go on to score two more hit singles at the end of the 1950s, and the success of "You Can Make it If You Try" allowed him to open a 24-hour soul food restaurant called Gene's Drive-In in Nashville.〔(Biography ), Allmusic.com〕 Allison continued to perform well beyond his brief period of fame. He died of renal failure, in Nashville, at age 69 in February 2004.〔 ==Singles==
