Harold Elwin Bice, Jr. better known as Bo Bice was born in Huntsville, Alabama to Nancy and Harold Elwin Bice, this day in 1975. His mother was a gospel singer as were his grandmother, great-grandmother, and aunts. Bice was nicknamed Bogart as a newborn by his grandmother, Granny Madge, because she thought he had Humphrey Bogart eyes. His family continued to call him Bogart, but when Bice was in kindergarten he shortened it to Bo because he did not think Bogart was cool. Upon completing his high school education , Bice turned professional and performed in shows all across the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Europe. He was a veteran of the nightclub circuit, releasing his first CD in 1995 with his band Purge. His other pre-Idol bands include Blue Sued Nickel and SugarMoney. Alabama Governor Bob Riley declared May 24 Bo Bice Day, in 2005, on that day, two members of the group Lynyrd Skynyrd surprised Bice during his trip home from Idol and performed Sweet Home Alabama with him in his home town of Helena, Alabama. Bo continues to write and perform today. Happy Birthday Hoss, he says its kinda like living......
