Larry Groce

about

Larry Groce (born April 22, 1948[1]) is an American singer, songwriter, musician and radio host. During his early four-year recording career as a family-oriented country music singer-songwriter, he became a one-hit wonder with the Top Ten novelty hit "Junk Food Junkie" in 1976. Since then, Groce's voice has become well known by children and parents alike as a result of his recordings of classic children’s songs for Walt Disney Records “Children’s Favorites” 4-volume series: Volume 1 (1979), Volume 2 (1979), Volume 3 (1986), and Volume 4 (1990). Since 1986, Groce has hosted the public radio program Mountain Stage. Biography: Groce was born in Dallas, Texas, on April 22, 1948. He attended W.H. Adamson High School with future musicians Michael Martin Murphey, Ray Wylie Hubbard, and B. W. Stevenson. After school, Groce moved around the States — St. Louis, New York, Los Angeles — singing folk music and rhyming tales. Groce recorded four LPs on small labels like Peaceable and Daybreak in the '70s, with his band—Berke McKelvey (bass), and the Currence brothers, Jimmie (banjo, fiddle) and Loren (guitar, fiddle, mandolin); Walt Disney's Vista label Activity Records issued his "Winnie the Pooh For President" as a single. He also recorded the "Disney Children's Favorites" albums on Disneyland Records, featuring many well-loved children's songs, as well as several other Disney recordings during the late 1970s and early 1980s, including the two "Disney Christmas Favorites" LPs.
