BILLY VAUGHN

Billy Vaughn was involved in the Rock Industry as a musician and promoter of bands until the early 1980's when he decided to retire from music and pursue a career in marketing.

In 1994, at the insistence of friends, Billy decided to come out of musical retirement and once more take an active part in the music industry. But this time Billy decided that instead of pursuing fame as a singer he would take a serious crack at songwriting.

In early 1995 Billy recorded a cassette album featuring 10 of his original songs. The title track of the album, ""If I Had Not Met You" won the 1995 Owen Skinner Memorial Songwriters Shield at the Pioneer Village Country Music Festival, Petrie, Queensland, and this win inspired Billy to start pitching his songs to Australian artists.

In September 1995 Slim Dusty released his version of Billy's song "Old Rock'n'Roller" on his Hit Album "Country Way Of Life". Since that time over thirty recordings of songs written or co-written by Billy have been released by Australian Country Music artists.
