Timeline

1931

Clinton Conger Ballard Jr. (May 24, 1931 – December 23, 2008) was an American songwriter, singer, and pianist.

He wrote two Billboard Hot 100 number one hits.

1957

Earlier in his career in 1957, Ballard 'discovered' the Kalin Twins and became their manager.

Ballard wrote the Kalins' Decca debut single, "Jumpin' Jack".

The follow-up, "When" made the US Top Ten and number one on the UK Singles Chart.

1958

His song, "Hey, Little Baby", was recorded by band leader Mitch Miller and became the theme of the 1958 World's Fair in Belgium.

After leaving the Kalins, in 1958, he wrote "Ev'ry Hour, Ev'ry Day of My Life", a hit for Malcolm Vaughan, and Frankie Avalon's Top Ten hit "Ginger Bread".

Ballard's own recording career was less successful.

1960

He wrote two UK number one singles, recorded by Jimmy Jones ("Good Timin", 1960) and The Hollies ("I'm Alive", 1965).

Ballard also pursued a solo singing career.

With minor success he recorded under his own name, as well as under the pseudonym Buddy Clinton.

When Ballard was three years old, he played the piano for KTSM, an El Paso radio station.

When he was 11, he attended a musical program for gifted students at the University of North Texas.

After serving in the US Army, he moved to New York and became a songwriter and a composer of musicals, including Come Back Little Sheba.

In addition to recording several singles under his own name without much success, in 1960 he adopted the alias Buddy Clinton to cut a two-sided single featuring the songs "Take Me to Your Ladder (I'll See Your Leader Later)" and "Joanie's Forever", both co-written by then-unknown composer Burt Bacharach with his writing partner Bob Hilliard.

1963

Ballard wrote one of his most successful songs in 1963, "You're No Good", which was first recorded by Dee Dee Warwick.

A competing version recorded by Betty Everett appeared weeks later and was a bigger hit, reaching the Top Ten of the US Billboard R&B chart.

A year later, the British group The Swinging Blue Jeans also recorded "You're No Good".

1965

The first was "Game of Love" by Wayne Fontana and The Mindbenders in 1965.

Ballard wrote "I'm Alive" for The Hollies, which was number one in the UK Singles Chart in 1965.

One of Ballard's best-known songs, "The Game of Love", was recorded by Manchester-based Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders in 1965.

The single went hit number one in the US and peaked at number two in the UK.

Ballard also wrote the subsequent Mindbenders' chart singles "It's Just a Little Bit Too Late" and "She Needs Love".

Ballard later wrote songs for the Ricky Nelson film, Love and Kisses.

He also wrote a series of commercial jingles, including a theme for Greyhound Lines.

1966

In 1966, the Zombies recorded his "Gotta Get a Hold of Myself".

1975

The second was the 1975 hit, "You're No Good" by Linda Ronstadt (first sung by Dee Dee Warwick, covered by The Swinging Blue Jeans, Betty Everett and later recorded by Van Halen).

Linda Ronstadt's version hit number one on the Billboard chart in 1975.

Ballard's songs were often recorded by artists of the British Invasion.

The Swinging Blue Jeans recorded "It Isn't There".

2008

He died in Denton, Texas, in December 2008, two years after suffering a stroke.

He is not to be confused with fellow songwriters Russ Ballard, Glen Ballard or Hank Ballard.
