DISCOGRAPHY OVERVIEW
Jack Clement's career in American popular music is unparalleled - from the signature horn riff of "Ring of Fire" to the wild abandon of the Killer doing "Great Balls of Fire", from Satchmo to Bono, from working with Pop Stoneman, whose first recordings were on Edison cylinders, to deejaying a show on satellite radio. That pretty much covers it.
Any one of the roles detailed below would have been a noteworthy career by itself. Oh, and he also founded a couple record companies, Fernwood, a garage in Memphis where the 1959 hit "Tragedy" was recorded, and JMI, Jack's early '70s label that launched the career of Don Williams.SONGWRITER
