John Crawford Biography

John Crawford is one of the most popular and richest Songwriter who was born on January 17, 1960 in Colfax, Washington, United States. John Buckner Crawford (born January 17th 1950) was an American musician and singer who co-founded the group pop Berlin were who scored several hits during the 80s. Crawford’s professional career as a musician began when he was in junior high school after suffering a leg injury during an athletic game. To fight against the boredom that came with getting injured, he took up a guitar, and began learning lessons at a music instrument store located in close by Fullerton, California, where his instructor introduced him to the future Berlin group musicians Dan Van Patten and Chris Velasco. John attended El Dorado High School in Placentia, California.

Changes in personnel continued to be a problem for the group, with only Nunn along with Crawford remaining in The Pleasure Victim lineup as they began the release of their second album entitled Three and Pray. Three and Pray. Both albums were released in 1986.

In 2003 the members of Berlin’s (roughly) pre-Love Life era lineup got together at the behest of VH1’s Bands Reunited show, resulting in phone conversations between Crawford and Diamond that Crawford credits with inspiring him to begin writing again.

“I have to kind of give credit to David Diamond,” Crawford said in late 2005. “I just had a lot of fun talking to him about music, talking to him on the phone a little bit afterwards, and it just kind of perked me up a little bit. I just decided to try doing, just to write some stuff for myself, just to see what it was like.”

Around the time of the formation of Fahrenheit in the late 1980s the independent Los Angeles-based label M.A.O. Records came out with a brand-new Berlin single featuring the tracks “The Metro” and “Tell Me Why” and featuring Terri Nunn as the vocalist. It was not till 1982’s top-selling platinum album Pleasure Victim that the music of Crawford attracted a following. Crawford played a part in writing all of the tracks on the disc, except for “Masquerade”, a song composed by guitarist and former Berlin member Chris Ruiz – Velasco.

Guitarist Ric Olsen and keyboardist/guitarist David Diamond joined the others in helping to create the synth-driven sound of early 1980s techno pop. The follow-up album to Pleasure Victim, titled Love Life was a huge success in 1984 due in part to the cult song No More Words.

After a name change , to Berlin, Cobb was out and an array of vocalists followed. In the year 1980, Berlin released their E-P Information album on H. Records, with Virginia Macolino fronting the group. The band signed with I.R.S. Records for a brief period in 1980 they released their first single “A Matter of Time” The band broke up in the year 1981.

Following a short-lived attempt at reuniting Berlin with Nunn, Crawford took a step away from the music industry to focus on his family and sort out the aftermath of his success. It was 10 years before he performed again or wrote another note of music. In the early 1990s, Crawford took a leap of faith and became a born-again Christian, an act that he credits with saving not only his soul but his marriage to his wife Jacquelyn, with whom he had three children Paul, Sydney, and Samantha.
