QB1 - Cold Hearted Woman - (Billy Greer)

In 1978, fresh off a tour with the Whitford-St.Holmes band Marty Conn took Terry Baker and Billy Greer into the studio to record a couple of songs he had written. This song "Cold Hearted Woman" was one.

A few months later a friend of Conn's entered the song in a contest sponsored by 96 WKLS Rock in Atlanta. It was so well received it was chosen as the 1st song on side A of that album which was titled "Hot-Lanta Home Cookin".

Over the course of more than a year the band which was named QB1 by Conn did many showcase gigs at the Agora Ballroom(Brawlroom!) and proceeded to be turned down by every major record label.The band was close to packing up and heading home. It was at one of those Showcases that Steve Walsh approached Greer and told him he had quit Kansas and was putting together his own band. He offered Greer a chance to audition for the band. The rest ,as they say is history. Go to billygreer.com to read about the story in greater detail. Thanks to Missy Ross for creating and running that site as well as davidragsdale.com.

I got my info from Billy Greer's official website. It seems your info and mine are not far apart. I would give you a link but You-Tube does not allow links on ot's comment sections. You can find it in the bio section.

This is very, very cool- Billy is my cousin- and I remember when they won the 96 rock competition with this song....

[rickyon]

You've got a very talented cousin!

[rickyon]

This was pre-Streets.

The Hot Lanta Home Cookin album was one of my favorites throughout high school. Wish there was a wait to get it digitally, and this song was the best on the entire album by far!

@debbiechickie5 He kinda looks like Sammy Hagar a bit...

[thomasrollinssr]

Yeah, your right, thats the album it was on in 1979, It won best song on that album.

This song was on the original "Hot 'Lanta Home Cookin'" album that 96 Rock did. I think this was 1979 in Atlanta.
