Moon Martin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John David "Moon" Martin (October 31, 1945 – May 11, 2020)[1] was an American singer-songwriter and guitarist.

Career

Born in Altus, Oklahoma, United States, Martin gained recognition in the 1970s as a pop artist and composer. Originally a rockabilly artist, he wrote the songs "Bad Case of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)", made famous by the English singer Robert Palmer, and "Cadillac Walk", made famous by the American singer Willy DeVille.[2]

Martin scored five minor hits of his own with "Rolene" (No. 30 US, No. 77 Australia[3]), "No Chance" (No. 50 US), both in 1979,[4] "Signal For Help" (No. 60 Australia) in 1981, "X-ray Vision", (No. 99) and "Aces For You" (No. 95) both in Australia in 1982. His 1982 song, "X-Ray Vision" was an MTV hit music video.[3]

He allegedly was given the nickname "Moon" because many of his songs had the word moon in the lyrics.[2]

Martin died on May 11, 2020, of natural causes in Encino, California, at the age of 74.[1][5][6]

On October 31, 2022, Midnight Moon,[7] a posthumous album, was released, only available on several music streaming services.
