Brent Titcomb

He has also done 'voice-overs' for commercials and for such Canadian children's animated television programs or direct-to-video films in the 1980s such as the 'Clifford the Big Red Dog' animated educational video series and The Care Bears Movie (1985).

Titcomb himself has made the contemporary folk LP May All Beings Be Happy (1977, Manohar MR 100) and the pop album Time Traveller (1982, Stony Plain 1039) and has sung and/or played (percussion, harmonica, guitar) on albums by Murray (as a member of her touring band, Richard), John Allan Cameron, Bruce Cockburn, George Hamilton IV, Noel Harrison, Gene MacLellan, and other singers.

He also performed thrice in the 1970s with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.

Titcomb began working occasionally in the mid-1970s as an actor in radio, television dramas and commercials.

He was a founder and, 1964-8, member of Three's A Crowd, then pursued a solo career as a folk singer, appearing over the next twenty years in clubs and at festivals in Canada (including the Festival of Friends, Hamilton, Ontario, annually beginning in 1976), the USA and, in 1983, Mexico.

He began his career in 1963 combining traditional folk material with the flair for comedy that has remained an integral element of his performances.

His early songs, which date to the late 1960s, included 'Sing High, Sing Low' and 'I Wish the Very Best for You,' both recorded by Anne Murray, the former a country music hit in 1971. His songs have also been recorded by Murray with Glen Campbell ('Bring Back the Love'), Ed Bruce, Lyn Dee, Tommy Graham, Bill Hughes, and Karen Jones.

Brent Arthur Titcomb was born on August 10, 1940 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
