Dallas Harms has been an important and integral part of Canada\u2019s country music industry since 1958, and is considered one of our country\u2019s most successful country music writers.<\/p>\n

Born in Saskatchewan and raised in Hamilton, Ontario, Harms began his career in the mid-1950s, making his first record in 1959. His first big hits came in the 1970s with, \u2018In the Loving Arms of My Marie\u2019 and \u2018Old Ira Gray\u2019, followed by subsequent hits, \u2018Georgia I\u2019m Cheating On You Tonight\u2019, \u2018It\u2019s Crying Time For Me\u2019, and \u2018The Ballad of the Duke\u2019.<\/p>\n

Harms has a proven track record as a songwriter on both the Canadian and American charts. His greatest success, \u2018Paper Rosie\u2019 recorded by the great, Gene Watson in 1977 became the #1 single on both Casbox and Record World, the #2 single on the Billboard Country Singles Charts, and won him the RPM Big Country Awards \u2018Best Single\u2019 in 1975. Watson also recorded and had major US hits with, \u2018The Old Man\u2019, \u2018His Horn\u2019, \u2018Cowboys Don\u2019t Get Lucky All The Time\u2019, and \u2018Get Along Little Doggie\u2019. Others to record his songs included Orval Prophet, Billy Walker, George Hamilton IV and The Osborne Brothers.<\/p>\n

The road that Harms travelled has taken him across Canada many times with innumerable radio and television appearances, as well as touring the world performing in such places as Wembley Stadium, and representing Canada at the International Country Music Festival in Nashville. He has also performed in New Zealand and in England.<\/p>\n
