Bluegrass "Hit Writer" Boudleaux Bryant Born On This Date
Boudleaux Bryant (February 13, 1920 – June 25, 1987) was one-half of the American husband-and-wife country music and pop songwriting team (along with his wife Felice Bryant [August 7, 1925 – April 22, 2003]) who were best known for writing the bluegrass standard and what eventually became the Tennessee State Song ("Rocky Top") and other hits such as "Love Hurts" and numerous Everly Brothers hits, including "All I Have to Do Is Dream" and "Bye Bye Love".
The name Boudleaux Bryant may not be a household word, but the song titles and lyrics he and Felice are responsible for certainly are. What is absolutely even more amazing is the sheer plethora of material written about the two and readily available to anyone seeking it.
