Biography

Bo Ratliff's real name is James Richard Ratliff. He has also recorded under the names Bozo Ratliff and Jim Ratliff. It is unclear where he came from. He recorded for Space Records, which was distributed out of St. Louis, Missouri, and for CLW Records, which was distributed by Arrow Enterprises out of Indianapolis, Indiana. His single for Space Records in 1957, "Rock Along Time"/"Let Me In" was a rockabilly record. His releases on CLW Records and Arrow Records were country releases. Ratliff wrote "I Don't Care," "Three Little Words I Love You," "Just A Piece Of Paper," and "Dim Cafe." He co-wrote "Give Them Guns" with Jim Ward, who also wrote "Hey Hey Don't Tease Me." Jim Ward also produced the two CLW Records releases. The song "The Politician" was listed on the record as being written by Bill and Bo. It's not known who Bill is, but Bo is likely to be Bo Ratliff. In 1967, Jim Ratliff released a single "Rum Dum"/"He Walked In" (Sims #324). "Rum Dum" was written by Jerry Schook and "He Walked In" was written by Chuck Howard. This Jim Ratliff may be the same guy.
