    Duane Eddy’s Music career

    During the 1960s, Eddy launched an acting career, appearing in such films as A Thunder of Drums, The Wild Westerners, Kona Coast, The Savage Seven, and two appearances on the television series Have Gun–Will Travel.

    He married singer Jessi Colter in 1961, the same year he signed a three-year contract with Paul Anka’s production company, Camy, whose recordings were issued by RCA Victor.

    It was in the early days of recording in the RCA Victor studios that he renewed contact with Lee Hazlewood, who became involved in a number of his RCA Victor singles and albums. Eddy’s 1962 single release, “(Dance With The) Guitar Man”, co-written with Hazlewood, earned his third gold disc by selling a million records.

    In the 1970s, he produced album projects for Phil Everly and Waylon Jennings. In 1972, he worked with Al Gorgoni, rhythm guitar, on BJ Thomas’s “Rock and Roll Lullaby”.

    In 1975, a collaboration with hit songwriter Tony Macaulay and former founding member of The Seekers, Keith Potger, led to another UK top ten record, “Play Me Like You Play Your Guitar”. The single, “You Are My Sunshine”, featuring Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings, hit the country charts in 1977.

    In 1986, Eddy recorded with Art of Noise, remaking his 1960 version of Henry Mancini’s “Peter Gunn”. The song was a Top Ten hit around the world, ranking number 1 on Rolling Stone’s dance chart for six weeks that summer.

    “Peter Gunn” won the Grammy for Best Rock Instrumental of 1986. It also gave Eddy the distinction of being the only instrumentalist to have had Top 10 hit singles in four different decades in the UK. (Although his 1975 top 10 hits featured a female vocal group).

    In October 2010, Eddy returned to the UK at a sold-out Royal Festival Hall in London. This success prompted the subsequent album for Mad Monkey/EMI, which was produced by Richard Hawley in Sheffield, England.

    The album, Road Trip, was released on June 20, 2011. Mojo placed the album at number 37 on its list of “Top 50 albums of 2011.” Eddy performed at the Glastonbury Festival on June 26, 2011.

    For an 80th birthday tour in 2018, Eddy returned to the U.K. in concerts with Liverpudlian singer-songwriter Robert Vincent, performing on October 23 at the London Palladium, and October 30 at Bridgewater Hall in Manchester.
