Archive material and source history
John Conlee was born in Kentucky in 1946. He moved to Nashville in the 1970s and signed with Elektra Records, releasing his debut album 'Rose Colored Glasses' in 1978. That album included 'Backside of Thirty,' which became a chart-topping hit.
His songs like 'Common Man' and 'As Long As I'm Rockin' With You' found an audience in the 1980s and 1990s. Conlee's music often dealt with everyday working-class themes, heard in tracks such as 'Busted' and 'Friday Night Blues.'
In the late 1980s, he faced a lawsuit from his former manager over unpaid commissions.
