Bob Atcher
Born 1914 in Hardin County, KY. Died Oct 31, 1993. Bob Atcher was one of the most popular country music entertainers of the post-World War II era, enjoying a 21 year career at OKeh and Columbia Records, as well as major radio stardom on WLS's National Barn Dance out of Chicago. His range of material ran from traditional country and comic novelty songs to folk.

By the early 1930's, he'd made his debut on radio on WHAS out of Louisville, and over the next few years appeared on several small stations across the south and midwest. In 1939, Atcher got his first big break and when he got a regular spot on WGBM in Chicago, a daily program that was picked up nationally by the CBS radio network.

*****************
During the years 1939-42, many of Atcher's singles were credited to duets with "Bonnie Blue Eyes" (aka Loretta Applegate)-their records together included the comical "Answer to You Are My Sunshine" and "Pins and Needles (In My Heart)."

Atcher made his biggest career move in 1948 when he joined the Chicago National Barn Dance on WLS. At that time, the National Barn Dance was still one of the two biggest showcases for country music, and he became one of the show's most popular stars over the next 10 years. Atcher left Columbia in 1950 for Capitol Records, and later recorded for Kapp Records. He remained a star on the National Barn Dance into the 1960's, and later rejoined Columbia Records.
