Mylon R. LeFevre was born on October 6, 1944. Mylon grew up in a home of a gospel singing family known as the Singing LeFevres. Mylon's dad started out singing on the Grand Ol' Opry in 1921. Mylon's grandfather on his mother's side was a preacher.Mylon spent time in a reform school and had been kicked out of private religious high school. But during this time in his life, Mylon was already getting a reputation for being a good songwriter. In 1962 Mylon graduated from High School. At age 19 Mylon had arranged and produced his first solo album.
Mylon's big break came when he was 17 years old. The first song he had written entitled "Without Him" was recorded by Elvis Presley in 1963. A year later 126 other albums came out with that song on it. At the time Mylon was in the Army and was making $84 a month. But after the success of Without HIm being recorded Mylon would receive $90,000 in just three months.
