 | | Born Thomas Earl Petty, on October 20, 1953 in Gainesville, Florida, Tom Petty has since devoted much of his life to music. |
 | | Although Petty did not know that he wanted to be a musician until after Elvis Presley visited his town, he has certainly made the right life decision. |
 | | After working with his early bands Sundowners, Epics, and Mudcrutch (which also included future Heartbreakers members Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench) he began his recording career with "Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers" when the band broke onto the national music scene with their 1976 self-titled debut album. |
