Biography
Robert Joseph "Bob" Beckham (July 8, 1927 – November 11, 2013) was an American country singer from Stratford, Oklahoma. Beckham started his career as a child star in several films.
Beckham, after a stint in the U.S. Army as a paratrooper during World War II, signed to Decca Records. He scored two hit singles in the U.S., both released on Decca Records. "Just as Much as Ever" peaked at No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1959 (in early 1968 Bobby Vinton's cover peaked at No. 24), and "Crazy Arms" peaked at No. 36 in 1960. Beckham composed Vic Dana's 1963 chart entry "Danger". He later became the owner of Combine Records.
