Nick Nixon was best known as a musician, country singer and songwriter.
He became part of the country music scene in the late 1960's. Early in the 1970's he signed with Mercury Records and had a dozen top 100 hits between 1974 and 1979. His band was known as the Nick Nixon Band. They played live at several St. Louis area locations in the 1980's.
Some of his best known songs are: "I'm Too Use To Loving You", "Rocking In Rosalee's Boat", and "I'll Get Over You." These three songs made the Billboard Top 40 Country Hits in 1975, 1976 and 1977 respectively. "Rocking Rosalee's Boat" was released on his first album titled "Nick Nixon".
Some of his other songs are "A Habit I Can't Break", "It's Only a Barroom", "I'm Turning You Loose", "Neon Lights", and "Love Songs and Romance Magazines."
As a songwriter, he collaborated with Don Earl on "The Teddy Bear Song" which Barbara Fairchild recorded in 1973. It became a #1 hit.
He was the founder and president of the Gateway Country Music Association, a not-for-profit group. This group was formed to compile a history of country music performers, writers, agents, and live music buyers for the local live country music scene. It also promotes live country music and sponsors fund raising jams to financial aid today's struggling pickers.
High Hill Press published a collection of his stories and poems titled "Dreams Worked Magic".
Later in life he became a real estate agent in Wright City, Missouri, but continued to play music and sing locally.
