Tom Rush (born on February 8, 1941, in Portsmouth, New Hampshire) is a folk and blues singer and recording artist who was particularly popular in the 1960s and 1970s.
His father was a teacher at St. Paul's School, in Concord, New Hampshire. Tom himself began performing in 1961 while studying at Harvard University.
Rush is credited by Rolling Stone magazine with ushering in the era of the singer/songwriter. In addition to performing his own compositions, he covered songs by Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, James Taylor and Murray McLauchlan, and helped them to gain recognition early in their careers.
His 1968 composition "No Regrets" has become an acknowledged standard, with numerous cover versions having been recorded. These include The Walker Brothers, who gave Tom Rush a belated Top Ten exposure as a songwriter on the UK singles chart.
