Mylon Lefevre
外文名:Mylon Lefevre 国籍:美国 生日:1944年10月6日 经纪公司:EMI百代唱片 简介:Mylon R. LeFevre (born October 6, 1944) is an American Christian music singer, who was the leader of the Grammy Award-winning band Mylon and Broken Heart. He is a member of the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame. He currently travels around the United States, ministering, teaching and singing. He sometimes can be seen on television networks, such as TBN and Daystar. 从艺历程:Born on October 6, 1944, in Gulfport, Mississippi,[1] into the pioneering Southern gospel family, The LeFevres, Mylon was the youngest son of Eva Mae and Urias LeFevre. When he was old enough, he began to sing and play guitar with the group.
As a teen, LeFevre was expelled from a private religious high school when his father took him out of school to perform with the family at a local concert. When he was 17 years, he wrote his first song, "Without Him". While stationed at Fort Jackson, South Carolina in the U.S. Army, where he was paid $84 per month, the LeFevres performed at the National Quartet Convention in Memphis. That weekend, LeFevre hitchhiked over 600 miles to get there. Onstage, singing "Without Him", he did not know that Elvis Presley was there. After the concert, Presley asked to meet LeFevre. Presley eventually recorded the song for his album, How Great Thou Art; within the next year, over a hundred artists would record LeFevre's song. According to LeFevre, writing the song took about twenty minutes and produced an initial royalty check of approximately $90,000. With the money, he purchased his first car, a Chevrolet Corvette, one of many sports cars he later owned.
After being discharged from the Army, LeFevre became a member of the Stamps Quartet (1966–1968). In 1964, LeFevre released his first solo album, New Found Joy, on Skylite Records. In 1968, he released Your Only Tomorrow.
LeFevre wanted to write and sing contemporary music which gives glory to God, but there seemed to be no place for his music—or his longer hair and long sideburns—in his family or the church. His first mainstream album, titled Mylon, We Believe (Atlantic/Cotillion Records 1970), is considered by some to be the first true "Jesus Rock" album, although Larry Norman's Upon This Rock preceded that album by about a year. LeFevre took the classic song, "Gospel Ship", setting the familiar southern gospel melody to a rock and roll tempo.
