John Eddie (born 1959, Richmond, Virginia) is an American rock singer. Eddie moved to New Jersey in the 1970s and became a popular club circuit musician there, occasionally performing with Bruce Springsteen.〔 Eddie signed with Columbia Records and released two albums including his 1986 self-titled debut, ''John Eddie''.〔 The first single, "Jungle Boy", from ''John Eddie'' peaked on Billboard at #17 Rock and #52 Hot 100.〔(Billboard Singles ), AllMusic.com〕 At the label's behest, his long-time band, the Front Street Runners, was replaced for the album by members of Springsteen's E Street Band. He opened for Bob Seger and The Kinks in the late 1980s〔 but was dropped by the label early in the 1990s. He then signed with Elektra Records where he was chosen to represent Elektra on their 40th Anniversary record called Rubaiyat with his version of The Cure's "In Between Days" and recorded a third album, which, after a lengthy legal dispute, was never released.〔 Since then Eddie has recorded independently and toured extensively; his career saw a resurgence when independent radio promotion person and long-time fan Michele Clark became his manager in 2000. Clark secured a record deal for Eddie with Lost Highway Records and executive produced the 2003 release of ''Who the Hell is John Eddie?'' The album subsequently produced three top 10 singles at the Triple-A Radio format. Kid Rock has covered "Lowlife", "Forty" and "Happy New Year" all written by John Eddie. His latest album, entitled ''Same Old Brand New Me'', was released in February 2012, featuring 18 songs. In 2013, the song Eddie co-wrote with Brantley Gilbert, "More Than Miles", became a top country hit for Gilbert, peaking at No. 6 on the national country charts. Eddie also had a song featured in the Zac Efron film, ''At Any Price'', entitled "The Man I Am" that was released as a single April 19, 2013. ==Discography== *''John Eddie'' (Columbia Records, 1986) US #83〔 *''The Hard Cold Truth'' (Columbia Records, 1989)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Eddie - ''The Hard Cold Truth'' )〕 *''Who the Hell is John Eddie?''
