Bryan Adams 1959 to 1970s
Adams was born in Kingston Ontario, Canada, to English parents. Adams also has
Maltese ancestry as his grandmother and great-grandmother were from Malta.
Adams' father was a diplomat and he travelled the world over with his parents.
Adams grew up in Europe, part of the time in Birre, Portugal, 25 km from Lisbon.
In 1973 Adams family returned to Canada and settled down in North Vancouver. His
musical goals began during his teenage years, as he explained to Carlo
D'Agostino from Rolling Stone magazine, "In high school, I was too far into my
music to even pay attention to girls."
At the age of 15, Adams quit school and played in nightclubs in bands like Shock
and Sweeney Todd, which released an album called If Wishes Were Horses with the
very young Adams as lead singer. He supplemented his income by washing dishes at
the famous Tomahawk Restaurant in North Vancouver, selling pet food, and working
in record stores. A serendipitous meeting with drummer Jim Vallance in a
Vancouver music store led to a song-writing partnership that continues to this
day. As O'Hara from Maclean's magazine phrased it, "Vallance was looking for a
singer, Adams was looking for a route to musical respectability, and the two hit
it off immediately." The pair began writing songs together and recording
demonstration tapes.
In 1978, at the age of 18, Adams sent a few demo recordings to A&M Records in
Toronto, and was signed to them not long afterwards for the sum of one dollar.
He has released 14 albums since then. Some of the first demos written in 1978
have surfaced over the years, most notably "I'm Ready" (recorded for both the
album Cuts Like a Knife and later his release for MTV Unplugged) and "Remember",
which went on his first album. Both songs were covered by other artists before
his first album was even released. Also recorded during this time was a demo of
the song "Let Me Take You Dancing".
Bryan Adams 1980s
The self-titled debut album was released in February of 1980, and marked the
beginning of what was to become a long songwriting partnership between Adams and
co-writer Jim Vallance. With the exception of "Remember" and "Wastin' Time" most
of the album was recorded from October 29 - November 29 1979 at Manta Studios in
Toronto, and co-produced by Adams and Vallance. The album was certified gold in
Canada in 1986.
Adams' second album, You Want It You Got It was recorded in New York City in two
weeks and it marked Adams' first album co-produced by Bob Clearmountain. It was
released in 1981 and contained the FM radio hit "Lonely Nights", but it was not
until his third album, Cuts Like A Knife (January 1983), that he broke through
with four hits in 1983, most notably with the title track. The album achieved
much commercial success, rising to #8 on the Billboard Album Chart. Several of
the songs on the album, including the title track, remain concert favourites
with Adams to this day.
Reckless was released on Adams' 25th birthday, 5 November 1984. It reached #1 on
the Billboard Album Chart and gave rise to no fewer than six hit singles,
including "Run to You", "Summer of '69" and Adams' first #1 single, "Heaven".
All six singles charted in the top 20 in Canada. Reckless has since been
certified five times platinum in the US. It also reached Diamond status in
Canada; the first album by a Canadian to sell one million units in his own
country.
In 1984, Tina Turner recorded a duet with Adams entitled "It's Only Love". In
addition to being a radio and MTV staple, the song was nominated for a Grammy
Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group. In 1986 a live
performance won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Stage Performance.
Adams' 1987 album, Into the Fire was also certified platinum. This was the last
album completely written by Adams and Vallance, but many of the fragments of
their other songs ended up on the forthcoming blockbuster Waking up the
Neighbours.
Live! Live! Live! is the complete recording of a concert in Werchter, Belgium on
3 July 1988, which was broadcast by the CBC in Canada and on MTV around the
world.
