Felice Bryant: you rocked my world

Of course we all know about the Bryants' (Felice + husband Bourdleaux) great hits they penned for the Everly Brothers, but I had never realized they were also responsible for "Rocky Top", the Tennessee state song - that's one of those tunes you just assume is traditional. When you can write songs that sound like they've been around forever - well, you can really write some songs, and this team definitely could and did. "They don't write 'em like that anymore!"

With the greatest respect, bye-bye love.

Rest in Peace, Felice Bryant.

Nina Simone died yesterday, too.
