Early Life
Randy Travis was born Randy Bruce Traywick on May 4, 1959, in Marshville, North Carolina. His mother, Bobbie, worked at a textile factory, and his father, Harold, owned a construction business and was a turkey farmer, horse breeder, and substitute teacher. Randy grew up with five siblings, and his father encouraged him to pursue his interest in music. At age 8, Travis began singing in the church choir and playing guitar, and when he was 10, Randy and his brother Ricky formed the band the Traywick Brothers and performed at talent contests and local clubs. Travis dropped out of high school and was arrested several times for offenses such as burglary and auto theft. In 1975, he won a talent contest at a Charlotte nightclub called Country City USA, and the club's owner, Elizabeth Hatcher, hired him to work as a cook and let him regularly perform there. After another arrest, Elizabeth became Randy's guardian, and she also served as his manager. Travis began recording music for Paula Records in 1978 and released the singles "Dreamin'" and "She's My Woman" in 1978. In 1982, Hatcher left her husband and moved to Nashville with Travis; their relationship then turned romantic, and they married nearly a decade later.
Career
After releasing the independent 1982 album "Live at the Nashville Palace" (under the name Randy Ray), Travis signed with the Nashville branch of Warner Bros. Records. In 1986, he released the 3x Platinum album "Storms of Life," which reached #1 on the "Billboard" Top Country Albums chart and featured the Gold singles "On the Other Hand" and "Diggin' Up Bones." Randy became a member of the Grand Ole Opry in late 1986, and he released the 5× Platinum album "Always & Forever" in 1987, followed by the 2x Platinum albums "Old 8×10" (1988) and "No Holdin' Back" (1989). Every single from "Always & Forever" reached #1 on the "Billboard" Hot Country Songs chart and the Canadian Country chart. In the 1990s, Travis released the Platinum albums "Heroes & Friends" (1990) and "High Lonesome" (1991) and the Gold album "This Is Me" (1994), and the singles "Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart," "Forever Together," "If I Didn't Have You," "Look Heart, No Hands," and "Whisper My Name" topped the country charts in the U.S. and Canada.
