Loudermilk (1934 - ), a widely-recognized songwriter, performer, and producer, was born in Durham, N.C. Under the name Johnny Dee, he began singing on the weekly Little Johnny Dee radio show by age 13. Loudermilk continued to sing and record his own songs throughout his career; however, he is primarily known for his work as a songwriter. His first major hit song, "A Rose and a Baby Ruth," was recorded by fellow North Carolinian George Hamilton IV in 1956. In 1958, Loudermilk moved to Nashville, where he was hired as Chet Atkins's assistant. After a brief period with Cedarwood Publishing, Loudermilk spent the 1960s writing for Acuff-Rose Publishing. During the 1960s and 1970s, Loudermilk became known as one of the most prolific of the Nashville songwriters; his songs were recorded by Roy Acuff Jr., Ernie Ashworth, Chet Atkins, Glen Campbell, Johnny Cash, the Everly Brothers, Marianne Faithfull, George Hamilton IV, Stonewall Jackson, Robert Mitchum, the Nashville Teens, Paul Revere & the Raiders, Sue Thompson, Johnny Tillotson, Tracey Ullman, Bobby Vee, Porter Wagoner, and others. Loudermilk was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Association International's Hall of Fame in 1976. Back to TopCollection OverviewThe John D. Loudermilk collection consists of papers, photographs, audio recordings, posters, and artifacts related to the music career of North Carolina native songwriter and performer John D. Loudermilk. Papers consist of sheet music, newspaper clippings and other memorabilia, correspondence, and other printed materials. Other papers include information pertaining to the production of Reflections, an album by Chet Atkins and Doc Watson, conceived and produced by Loudermilk. Photographs include images of John D. Loudermilk alone or with others, as well as a few images related to album covers. Audio recordings include 45s, 78s, LPs, acetate discs, 8-track tapes, cassette tapes, CDs, and a reel-to-reel tape. Many of these recordings date from Loudermilk's years as a Nashville, Tenn., songwriter, and include recordings made by Roy Acuff Jr., Ernie Ashworth, Chet Atkins, Glen Campbell, Johnny Cash, the Everly Brothers, Marianne Faithfull, George Hamilton IV, Stonewall Jackson, Robert Mitchum, the Nashville Teens, Paul Revere & the Raiders, Sue Thompson, Johnny Tillotson, Tracey Ullman, Bobby Vee, Porter Wagoner, and others, as well as recordings made by Loudermilk as himself or under the name Johnny Dee. Posters advertise performances or venues at which Loudermilk made appearances. Artifacts include t-shirts, buttons, and other ephemera related to performances or venues at which Loudermilk appeared.
