Ralston Bowles is an American songwriter, producer, musician and singer from Grand Rapids, Michigan. ==Biography== Ralston Bowles was born on August 31, 1952 to parents, Buel Bowles of Green Sulphur Springs, West Virginia (1913–2002) and May Jean Morgan of Vincennes, Indiana (1919–1998). Bowles wrote the songs "Fragile", recorded by Peter Mulvey, Rachael Davis and Caroline Aiken, and "Grace", based on a book by author Philip Yancey, ''What's So Amazing About Grace?''. Bowles wrote the latter song after reading a pre-publication galley of the book. After the book was published, singer Bono of U2 wrote and released a similar song of the same title, based on the same book; the song appeared on their album ''All That You Can't Leave Behind''. Bowles has been a fixture on the western Michigan music scene since 1970, helping the Grand Rapids music scene to flourish while encouraging national artists to make Grand Rapids a tour stop on their schedules. Host of the Frederik Meijer Gardens Tuesday Evening Music Club and a supporter of numerous charities through benefit concerts, he has performed with Arlo Gutherie, the Hothouse Flowers, T-Bone Burnett, Shawn Colvin and the Del McCoury Band. On August 30, 2009, Bowles was featured in The Grand Rapids Press, in the paper's weekly "Sunday Profile" under the headline "SOUL MAN." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ralston Bowles」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
