[4] Greene was born in Maryville, Tennessee, and learned to play guitar when he was ten years old.

[3] His first involvement with the music industry came when he was still a teenager, working as a disc jockey at radio station WGAP in Maryville.

A major career break came Greene's way in 1961 when his band served as the opening act for Ernest Tubb.

Impressed, Tubb asked Greene to become a part of his backing band, the Texas Troubadors in 1962.

[3] For the next few years, Jack Greene was a drummer, guitarist, vocalist, and master of ceremonies for the Troubadors' performances.

Another single, "Don't You Ever Get Tired (Of Hurting Me)", followed in 1965 but failed to make the country music charts, having the bad luck to come out at the same time as Ray Price's version.

Tubb encouraged Jack Greene to leave the Texas Troubadors and pursue a solo career.

Among the biggest of these hits during the 1970s included "Lord, Is That Me" (1970), "There's A Lot About A Woman A Man Don't Know" (1971), and two more duets with Jeannie with "Much Obliged" (1972) and "What In The World Has Gone Wrong With Our Love" (1972).

[4] Decca became MCA Records in the early 1970s but Greene kept on having chart success with "Satisfaction" (1973), "I Need Somebody Bad" (1973), and "It's Time To Cross That Bridge" (1974).

[4] Jack Greene enjoyed a brief comeback with the Frontline Records label in 1980 as the song "Yours For The Taking" peaked at No.

[7][8] Greene continued to record sporadically in the 2000s including the duet "You Have Won My Heart" and "Stetson Cowboy" with Santana Maria.

An album of duets, it featured fellow Country stars like Lorrie Morgan and George Jones.
