Taylor
Hicks is the first “American Idol” winner to secure a long-term residency in
Las Vegas and quickly became one of the most popular acts in the city. One of
the most beloved “American Idol” winners of all-time, his residency serves as a
homecoming of sorts, as Las Vegas is where Hicks’ journey to fame began. He was
in New Orleans the night before Hurricane Katrina. With his flight cancelled,
he was given a free airplane voucher. Hicks used the ticket to travel to Las
Vegas, where coincidentally “American Idol” auditions were being held.
From
the start, Taylor’s material on “American Idol” set him apart, with a unique
take on southern soul, R & B, country and blues. More than 63 million votes
were cast and nearly 37 million viewers tuned in to crown Hicks the Season 5
winner of “American Idol,” making it one of the most watched television events
of the decade. The applause hasn’t stopped since he stepped off that stage.
Less than three weeks after Hicks’ Idol win, his debut single, “Do I Make You
Proud,” entered at #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100, Pop 100 and Single Sales charts.
Coinciding with the single release, a cover story named Hicks as People
Magazine’s “Hottest Bachelor of the Year.” His self-titled album, “Taylor
Hicks” (Arista), debuted #2 on the Billboard 200 and was quickly certified RIAA
platinum.
On
Broadway, Hicks starred in the hit musical, “Grease” as Teen Angel, and when
asked to join the national tour, happily agreed. The 18-month tour connected
him with fans across the United States and Canada.
Hicks,
who hails from Birmingham, Ala., was destined for the musical stage from an
early childhood. Focusing on music full-time, he then became a fixture around
the southeast, playing concerts and club dates with visiting stars like James
Brown, Tom Petty, Jackson Browne, Robert Randolph, Keb’ Mo’ and Widespread
Panic among others, and released two independent albums “In Your Time” and
“Under The Radar.” These albums were
compiled and released by Vanguard Records as “Early Works.”
