  • Biography -- Printable Version
    Biography -- Printable Version Peter Wolf's Historical Biography Written & Researched by Bryan Wiser, and Sheila Warren with Mimi Fox. Born in New York City, Peter grew up in the Bronx during the mid-1950's in a small, three-room apartment where he lived with his parents, older sister, two cats, dog and parakeet. For some time, Peter lived with his grandmother, an actress in New York City's Yiddish Theater. She and Peter had a strong bond, and she affectionately named him "Little Wolf" for his energetic and rambunctious ways. His father was a musician, vaudevillian and singer of light opera. Like Peter did years later, his father left home at age fourteen to join the Schubert Theater Touring Company with which he traveled the country performing light operas such as The Student Prince and Merry Widow. He had his own radio show called The Boy Baritone, which featured new songs from Tin Pan Alley, and was a member of the Robert Shaw Chorale. As a result of such artistic pursuits, Peter's father underwent long periods of unemployment that created a struggle to make financial ends meet. Peter's mother was an elegant and attractive woman who taught inner-city children in the South Bronx for 27 years. A political activist, union organizer and staunch civil rights advocate, she supported racial equality by attending many of the southern "freedom rides" and marches. Peter's older sister was also a teacher as well as a photographer who now works as an advocate for persons with disabilities. She continues her mother's tradition, often marching on Washington to support the rights of the disabled.

    This is the twentieth anni- versary of Bobby Bare s first hit. It was “The All-American Boy,” and though the name on the label read Bill Parsons, the man who did the singing was Bare. After a long series of “straight” hits like “Detroit City” and “500 Miles (Away From Home)’ Bobby Bare fell in with Shel Silverstein and began having hits in the lighthearted, funky, narra- tive style that Bare originally in- vented on “The All-American Boy.” Last year Bare scored big with “The Winner.” This year he’s delivered a totally winning album... his first on Columbia... including the single “Too Many Nights Alone.” Listen to the new single and album and we think you’ll agree that the future looks Bare. “Bare*.’ KC 35314 Including the single “Too Many Nights Alone?

    POPULAR MUSIC, POPULAR MYTH AND CULTURAL HERITAGE IN CLEVELAND EMERALD STUDIES IN POPULAR MUSIC AND PLACE Series Editors: Brett Lashua, Leeds Beckett University, UK Stephen Wagg, Leeds Beckett University, UK Studies of the relations between popular music and place offer rich conceptual and empirical terrain. This interdisciplinary book series publishes research on popular music and its geo-spatial relations by scholars working in the wider dis- ciplines and subject fields of popular music studies, cultural geography, cultural studies, sociology, urban studies, youth studies, leisure studies, and beyond. Titles in the series focus not only on specific cities, but also rural and suburban places, alternative or marginal spaces, online spaces, and other music geogra- phies, for example, histories of vanished or erased places, music tourist attrac- tions, thanatological spaces (e.g., cemeteries and other memorializations for deceased musicians), music museums, and so on. The series promotes work by scholars interested in popular music, place and space, cultural identities, globali- zation, history, and cultural heritage. In turn, the book series offers a critical space for scholars to theorize about the changing place of popular music where it is encountered, enjoyed, and contested.
