Biographie

Don Gibson est né à Shelby, Caroline du Nord, dans une famille de classe moyenne. Il monte son premier groupe Sons of the Soil assez jeune et enregistre avec eux son premier titre en 1948. En 1957, il se rend à Nashville pour enregistrer Oh Lonesome Me et I Can't Stop Loving You pour la Radio Corporation of America. L'enregistrement devient un hit des classements pop et country.

Oh Lonesome Me est le premier d'une série de succès dont Blue Blue Day qui sera numéro 1 en 1958. Suivent Look Who's Blue (1958), Don't Tell Me Your Troubles (1959), Sea of Heartbreak (1961), Lonesome No. 1, I Can Mend Your Broken Heart (1962), et Woman (Sensuous Woman), un autre numéro 1 en 1972.

Gibson enregistre une série de duos avec Dottie West à la fin des années 1960 et au début des années 1970. Leurs plus grands succès sont Rings of Gold (1969) et There's a Story Goin' Round (1970). West et Gibson sortent un album ensemble en 1969, nommé Dottie and Don. Gibson enregistre également plusieurs duos avec Sue Thompson dont les titres I Think They Call It Love (1972), Good Old Fashioned Country Love (1974) et Oh, How Love Changes (1975).

Compositeur de talent, Gibson est surnommé The Sad Poet à cause de ses nombreuses chansons parlant de la solitude et de l'amour perdu. Sa chanson I Can't Stop Loving You a été reprise par plus de 700 artistes, dont Ray Charles en 1962. Il a également écrit et enregistré Sweet Dreams, une chanson qui devient en 1963 un succès à travers la voix de Patsy Cline. Roy Orbison est un grand fan de l'écriture de Gibson et, en 1967, il enregistre un album nommé Roy Orbison Sings Don Gibson.

Après sa mort en 2003, l'artiste a été enterré dans le Sunset Cemetery de Shelby, sa ville natale.
