All I see listed at the sites I’ve visited are same 10 to 20 songs. I know he had 100+ Top Ten singles. What were they? And what about all the other songs he wrote? Just looking through my old platers, I see his name everywhere. Hits from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, & 90s. There must be a complete list some where.

I was thinking about Aaron Neville the whole time, but, of course, typed in “Tippin”. Bet Neville was glad it was him—they won a Grammy for that version!

While Harlan occasionally co-wrote, many of great songs were solo endeavors.

Howard’s songs had a universal appeal and a great many of them were recorded by R&B artists as well as by country artists

A worthy start to the series

Coyne Sat, 23 Aug 2008 15:40:06 +0000 http://countryuniverse.wordpress.com/?p=2245#comment-540 A songwriter nearly without peer. I’ve always been impressed by the timelessness of his songs, able to be a hit all over again a generation later. Some of them are long overdue for rediscovering, actually. Josh Turner, Sara Evans and the like better get busy.
