FILE - Jerry Bradley speaks during the annual announcement of inductees into the Country Music Hall of Fame, March 18, 2019, in Nashville, Tenn. The Nashville music executive who signed Alabama and Ronnie Milsap and helped brand the outlaws style of country music during a 40-year career, died Monday, July 17, 2023. He was 83. – Nashville music executive Jerry Bradley, who signed Alabama and Ronnie Milsap and helped brand the outlaws style of country music during a 40-year career, died Monday.
Bradley struck out on his own in 1970, joining RCA Records under Chet Atkins before taking over as head of the label's Nashville branch from 1973-1983. That is where he signed Alabama and Milsap. He helped market the outlaws of country music in a platinum-selling album called “Wanted: The Outlaws.” Under his leadership, the careers of Dolly Parton and Charley Pride flourished.
After leaving RCA, Bradley ran the Opryland Music Group, whose song catalogs included the classics of Hank Williams, Roy Orbison and the Everly Brothers. But Bradley wanted more and acquired new staff, song pluggers, and songwriters, including Kenny Chesney, according to the obituary. Bradley retired in 2003 after the company was acquired by Sony/ATV Music.
Chesney said in a statement that Bradley"had a profound and unmeasurable impact on my life. But not just in my life. ... He helped change the lives of so many people that had a song in their heart. Jerry’s impact on our creative community will be felt for years.”Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
