Dallas Frazier
Used to watch him in the late 1950's on Cousin Herb's Trading Post Show. He wore a necktie, untied, and would slide it up and down inside his collar as he sang. He was gifted.
RIP!!

What a loss. I was late to the party in finally discovering who this great songwriter was. Who else could write songs like “Honky Tonk Downstairs”.....

Sometime in the late 50's or maybe as late as '61 I picked up a big batch of miscellaneous 45s at a school fair for pennies, and one of them was this one:

My background included no Country music whatsoever. I thought (at age 10 or less) that the record was kind of laughable, but, on the other hand, I enjoyed listening to it, and did, often, more than most of the other obscure 45s in the batch.
A couple of decades later, I was astonished to find, on reading the songwriting credits to Country songs after I got deeply into Country music, that Dallas Frazier was the writer of so many great songs. I remembered the name from that old 45. I still have it!
RIP

Perhaps the most prolific writer of them all. I had no idea of the true breadth of his work until I heard the COCAINE+RHINESTONES podcast about him.

Here's a link to the Cocaine & Rhinestones podcast.
There might be 40 minutes of talk before you get to the actual story about Dallas.

Another HOF loss
“Prolific songwriting royalty.. sitting on the hay bale over there..”
So said Marty Stuart after finishing the ‘14 carat mind’ tune, with Dallas as guest performer, 2009 N’Ville TV program. YouTube is avail. His effusive, yet humble talent & imagination will linger on in our minds. RIP from the gifts you have left to so many followers.
