T. G. Sheppard (born Billy Neal Browder, 20 July 1944, in Humboldt, Tennessee) is an American country music singer, who had 21 number one hits during the 1970s and 1980s.

Inside Motown's Little Known Attempt to Launch a Country Label

He never graduated from high school, but was one credit away from doing so.

He ran away from his home at the age of 15 to become involved in the music industry in Memphis, Tennessee.

Recording career :

In 1974, Sheppard signed with Melodyland (later Hitsville) Records, which was a short-lived country label that was owned by Motown Records, and recorded the song "Devil in the Bottle," which became a No. 1 hit on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart and also became a Top 60 Pop hit in 1975.
The follow-up, "Tryin' to Beat the Morning Home," also went to No. 1 and cracked the Top 100 during the summer of 1975. Several subsequent releases during 1975-1977 also made the Top 10 like "Motels and Memories" and "Show Me A Man".

Early in his career, TG became close friends with Elvis Presley

Elvis gave TG his first tour bus and TG even lived at Graceland for a while during their friendship.

A relative of TG's at a performance of his in his hometown of Humboldt, TN gave a first-hand account of TG mentioning the recent passing of his friend, Elvis, beginning to honor him by singing one of Elvis' songs, & having to leave the stage to compose himself before returning to finish the song.

TG & Elvis were very close.
