Larry Groce, born on April 22, 1948, in Dallas, Texas, is an American singer-songwriter and radio host. He recorded his first album, Peace And Joy And Power, while a college student at Principia College in Elsah, Illinois. In 1970, Groce moved to New York City and signed with Daybreak Records, releasing his debut album of original songs, The Wheat Lies Low. His breakthrough came in 1976 with the release of "Junk Food Junkie", a satiric novelty song that became a Billboard Top 10 hit. This success led to appearances on various television shows. Throughout his career, he released several albums and is particularly known for his work with Walt Disney Records, performing on nine children's albums between 1979 and 1990. His first Disney recording, Winnie-the-Pooh for President, was nominated for a Grammy in the category of Best Recording for Children in 1976. In 1983, he co-founded Mountain Stage, a live music radio program produced by West Virginia Public Broadcasting and distributed by NPR. He served as its host until his retirement in 2021. Notable artists featured on the show include Lyle Lovett, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Sheryl Crow.
