An American singer and actor, Edwin Jack Fisher (1928 – 2010), known professionally as Eddie Fisher, released 15 studio albums, one original live album, various compilation and archival projects, and 83 singles. Along with fellow vocalists Perry Como and Patti Page, Fisher was one of the most commercially successful singers in the first half of the 1950s. His debut single was 1948's "You Can't Be True, Dear" with the Marlin Sisters. Fisher achieved his breakout in 1950 with "Thinking of You" which hit the US pop top-5.
Fisher consistently released singles, and in 1951, five hit the pop top-20, with "Any Time" peaking at number 2 and becoming his first gold record. In 1952 RCA Victor issued his first LP Eddie Fisher Sings, which was a commercial success. Two other LPs were released that year, both nearly topping the charts. He scored nine top-25 singles that year as well, and "Everything I Have Is Yours" marked his first UK chart entry, climbing to number 8 there. "Outside of Heaven" completely topped the UK charts months after. In September 1952, Fisher had his first number-one hit with "Wish You Were Here". It was ranked at number 7 on the year-end Billboard chart. 1953 earned Fisher two more US number-one hits with "I'm Walking Behind You" and "Oh! My Pa-Pa".
In 1954, Fisher scored his fourth and final number-one hit with "I Need You Now ", and a final top-5 pop hit with "Count Your Blessings (Instead of Sheep)". The next year, Fisher continued to have commercial success, and his LP I Love You and single "Heart" both reached the top-10 on their respective charts. 1956 saw Fisher hit the top-40 one last time with "Cindy, Oh Cindy", before his chart performance heavily declined. In 1957, all of his releases either missed the charts or just climbed to the bottom half of the charts. RCA Victor would drop Fisher by 1960 after limited sales.
Fisher returned in 1961 and hit the charts once again with "Tonight", earning him a top-15 entry on the newly published Billboard Easy Listening chart. Fisher eventually formed his own record label, called Ramrod Records. Under it, he released his first live album titled Eddie Fisher at the Winter Garden, which did modestly on the LP charts. In 1965, Fisher signed Dot Records. The contract granted him four albums, the first of which, Eddie Fisher Today! marked a strong return to all of the LP charts. The album contained contemporary material, but Dot scheduled Fisher to record traditional pop standards as well, with Young and Foolish, which modestly hit the charts. As the contract ended, Fisher re-signed with RCA again.
Under the arrangement of Nelson Riddle, Fisher recorded "Games That Lovers Play", which became his most successful song in the 1960s. It hit number 2 on the Easy Listening chart and number 45 on the pop charts. It spawned his best-selling album as well. "People Like You" had fewer, but similar results. This comeback did not last long. After the lackluster performance of You Ain't Heard Nothin' Yet in 1968, Fisher left the label. His only recordings after that were the soul-themed "I'll Pick a Rose for My Rose" (1969) and a return album titled After All (1984).
