Mel Tillis

Talented singer and songwriter Mel Tillis, who I would hear his music for many years in my families homes and I don't have a favorite song, as so many of them are great to hear every day. He passed at 85 and had been sick for awhile. I'm not going to list every song and please list some you love to hear. His #1 song I Ain't Never is one I can hear every time in my brother's house. Mel won entertainer of the year in 1976 well deserved. Here are some of his songs The Violet And The Rose, Sawmill, Walk On Boy, State Side, Southern Rains, Neon Rose, New Patches, Loco Weed, and Life Turned Her Away. He was inducted into The Grand Ole Opry on June 9, 2007 by his daughter Pam a country singer. There are 6 children and Pam's brother is a song writer. He was in movies including Smokey and the Bandit 2 and I enjoyed it. Rest in peace you will be missed by so many people.
