Short Bio
Born on July 13, 1956, in Valley Stream, NY, Billy Falcon grew up in Rosedale, NY.

Falcon had another small hit when "Sometimes It's a Bitch," another song that he and Jon Bon Jovi had written, was released as a single from the Stevie Nicks compilation Timespace. In addition, he played at the fifth Farm Aid held in March 1992. Letters From a Paper Ship followed in 1994, but it too failed to break Falcon to a wider audience. His recording output would cease, although he continued to play live (having relocated to Nashville) and co-wrote several songs for Bon Jovi's 2001 mega-selling Crush. In 2002, his daughter Rose Falcon released her debut, Breakable, which featured production by Billy Falcon and ten songs co-written by the two. ~ Tom Demalon, All Music Guide
