    Bill Anderson.

    WHY: He writes a variety of songs -- happy ("Happy State of Mind"), sad ("3 AM," which is sad enough to make you jump with him!), comical ("Country DJ"), very serious ("Think I'll Go Somewhere and Cry Myself to Sleep") and everything in between. The names of the famous songs he's written could line every street in Nashville. And, of course, he's in both the Country and Songwriters halls of fame.

    Dickie Lee, fair or not, is stereotyped as a "dead girl" (thank you, Steve Goodman) / "tearjerker" guy.

    rather, i do no longer think of a video for any of the classics is needed, with the aid of fact the songwriters painted such eye-catching, seen pictures with their lyrics that a video could do no longer something for the song. you do no longer want a video of "El Paso" considering you will discover the posse coming after Marty! you do no longer want a video for "Sing Me lower back abode" considering you could almost hear the footsteps echoing down the reformatory cellular with the aid of fact the condemned guy passes. Dang, they do no longer write 'em like that to any extent further. i think of the song video has made songwriters lazy. stable question, however.
