Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Thomas Earl Petty (Tom Petty
- born October 20, 1953 in Gainesville,
Florida) is an American musician. Petty
did not have any musical aspirations before
Elvis Presley visited his hometown. After
working with his early bands The Sundowners,
The Epics, and Mudcrutch (which also included
future Heartbreakers members Mike Campbell
and Benmont Tench) he began his recording
career with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
when the band broke onto the national music
scene with their 1976 self-titled debut
album. Still, it took America a full year
to catch up to the album. "Breakdown"
was re-released to radio and became a Top
40 hit in 1977 after word filtered back
the band was creating a firestorm in England.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
Thomas Earl Petty (born October 20, 1953 in Gainesville,
Florida) is an American musician. Petty did not have any
musical aspirations before Elvis Presley visited his hometown.
After working with his early bands The Sundowners, The Epics,
and Mudcrutch (which also included future Heartbreakers
members Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench) he began his recording
career with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers when the band
broke onto the national music scene with their 1976 self-titled
debut album. Still, it took America a full year to catch
up to the album. "Breakdown" was re-released to
radio and became a Top 40 hit in 1977 after word filtered
back the band was creating a firestorm in England.
Their 1978 second album You're Gonna Get It! proved the
debut album's intensity was no fluke. Marking the band's
first gold album, it features the singles "Listen To
Her Heart" and "I Need To Know". Shortly
after its release the band was dragged into a legal dispute
when ABC Record, Shelter's mother company, was sold to MCA
Records. Petty refused to be simply transferred to another
record label without his consent. He held fast to his principles
for a long nine months, which eventually lead to him filing
for bankruptcy.
After the dispute was settled, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
released their third album Damn The Torpedoes (1979) that
rapidly became triple-platinum. It includes "Refugee",
their US breakthrough single. Damn The Torpedoes was followed
by the unsuccessful but critically acclaimed Hard Promises
(1981).
On their fifth album Long After Dark (1982) bass player
Ron Blair was replaced by Howie Epstein, giving The Heartbreakers
their final line-up. However, frontman Tom Petty had problems
coping with the stress and success and decided to slow things
down.
On their come-back album Southern Accents (1985) Tom Petty
& The Heartbreakers picked up where they had left off.
The recording was not without problems — Petty became
frustrated during the mixing process and broke his left
hand after punching it through a wall. The album includes
the hit single "Don't Come Around Here No More"
which was produced by Dave Stewart.
A successful concert tour led to the live album Pack Up
The Plantation-Live! (1985). The band's live capabilities
were put to the test when Bob Dylan invited Tom Petty &
the Heartbreakers to join him on his True Confessions tour
through the US, Australia, Japan (1986) and Europe (1987).
Also in 1987, the group released Let Me Up (I've Had Enough),
a studio album made to sound like a live recording using
a technique they borrowed from Bob Dylan. It includes "Jammin'
Me", which Petty wrote with Dylan.
Petty also appeared in several episodes of It's Garry Shandling's
Show (1987 - 1990), playing himself as one of Garry Shandling's
neighbors. This show originally appeared on the the Showtime
cable TV channel.
In 1989, Petty released Full Moon Fever. Though nominally
a solo project, other Heartbreakers and well-known musicians
participated in the album's production. Mike Campbell co-produced
the album with Petty and Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra.
It was in the Billboard Top Ten chart for over 34 weeks
and earned triple-platinum status, along the way spawning
such hits as "I Won't Back Down", "Free Fallin'"
and "Runnin' Down A Dream".
Prior to Full Moon Fever, Lynne and Petty worked together
in the all-stars band Traveling Wilburys, which also counted
Bob Dylan, George Harrison and Roy Orbison as members. Traveling
Wilburys started as a joke in order to record a B-side for
a George Harrison single, but the song "Handle Me With
Care" was such a success that the group decided to
record a full album, Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1 (1988). Roy
Orbison's sudden death casted a shadow on the success and
shortly afterwards Del Shannon, whom the remaining Wilburys
had in mind as a replacement, committed suicide. A second
Wilburys album, mysteriously called Traveling Wilburys Vol.
3 (1990), followed but couldn't quite live up to expectations.
Petty rejoined with the Heartbreakers for his next album,
Into the Great Wide Open in 1991. It was again produced
by Jeff Lynne and includes the hit singles "Learning
To Fly" and "Into The Great Wide Open".
In 1994, Petty released his second solo album, Wildflowers,
which also included the hit singles "You Don't Know
How It Feels", "You Wreck Me", "It's
Good to Be King", "A Higher Place" and "Honey
Bee".
He has been honored with 10 Grammy Award nominations since
1981. In that year he received his first nomination for
his collaboration with Stevie Nicks, "Stop Draggin'
My Heart Around" in the category of Best Rock Performance
By A Duo or Group With Vocal. Petty earned a Grammy Award
in 1989 for Best Rock Performance By A Duo or Group With
Vocal for his work with the Traveling Wilburys. In 1994
he received another two Grammy Awards: Best Male Rock Vocal
Performance (for "You Don't Know How It Feels")
and Best Engineered Album (Non-Classical). Wildflowers also
garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album.
Other Wildflowers achievements included Best Male Video
Award for "You Don't Know How It Feels" at the
1995 MTV Video Music Awards. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
won the same award in 1994 with the video "Mary Jane's
Last Dance". At the 1994 ceremony, Petty was also presented
with the Video Vanguard Award, citing his longtime contributions
to the field.
As a songwriter, Tom Petty was acknowledged in May 1996
with the prestigious Golden Note Award from ASCAP. In April
1996, Petty received UCLA's George And Ira Gershwin Award
For Lifetime Musical Achievement. In 2002 the group was
inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In 1999 Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers received a star
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7018 Hollywood Blvd., an
honor that acknowledges both their musical achievements
and their humanitarian involvement with such organizations
as Greenpeace, the National Veteran's Foundation, USA Harvest,
Rock And Wrap It Up, and AmFAR (the American Foundation
for AIDS Research).
In 2002 he appeared in The Simpsons, in the episode "What
I Did In My Summer Vacation". He has also voiced the
character Lucky in King of the Hill.
In 2005, Tom Petty began hosting his own show "Buried
Treasure" on XM Radio. On the show, Tom shares selections
from his personal record collection.
