Hal Frazier

Hal was a teacher for nine years after receiving his Masters Degree in Music from Florida A & M University in Tallahassee, Florida. His musical career developed in the mid-60's when he signed with the Playboy Clubs International followed by a personal management contract with Don Adams, of the famous "Get Smart" and "Inspector Gadget" television series. Appearances on "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson as well as the Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin, David Frost, and Ed Sullivan shows; appearing as a special guest-star for the Miss Universe Pageant and the Presidential Inaugural Banquet honoring President Richard Nixon; touring with Mr. Don Rickles; and recording two albums for VMC Records, "Hal Frazier" and "No Man Is An Island," are some of the highlights of Hal Frazier's career. Hal's elder daughter, LaGaylia Frazier, a graduate of the University of Miami and a former member of the UM Chamber Singers, has followed in his footsteps with a flourishing singing career of her own and has now released her first CD, "LaGaylia Uncovered", which promises a bright addition to her career as a songwriter and lyricist. In 2002, Warner Music UK Ltd. re-released Hal's "After Closing Time" on their "After Hours: Northern Soul Masters" compilation albums. Hal is currently trying to fit some performances within the U.S. into his schedule of international and cruise ship appearances.
