For those of you who don't know who he was, Steve wrote number 1 hits for many other artists including the Eagles, Hank Williams Jr. and Waylon Jennings, among many others. Songs such as Lonesome, On'ry and Mean, Seven Bridges Road, and Montgomery in the Rain, and lot and lots of other hits. I met him one time and he told me he got screwed out of practically all his royalties by record companies and when he sued them to try to collect what was his they crushed him with their wealth and power until he couldn't afford the legal fees and had to give up. He was a phenomenal talent. Check out his CDs, great voice and great guitar player. Only 73 years old. Others made millions and millions off him. The CD shown below is a great two-CD collection of his first two albums I think . Highly recommended.
