I just saw this on Facebook. He wrote the Waylon Jennings song "Luckenbach, Texas" RIP, Chips. :(

Grammy-winning songwriter, producer and guitarist Lincoln Wayne "Chips" Moman, who wrote and produced hits for Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, B.J. Thomas, Dusty Springfield and many others, died at a hospice facility in his hometown of LaGrange, Georgia, on Monday, one day after his 79th birthday.

I never knew that he wrote that song, but that's nothing uncommon for country music, with other people writing the songs that artists sing.

Even if Chips never penned another tune other than Luckenbach Texas with that memorable song he would still be remembered deservingly. Thanks, Paul for paying homage to a great songwriter.

RIP Chip

Yeah, he wrote so many songs that I essentially grew up with, at least the ones from the 70's and on. I just realized he was 5 years younger than my dad, who just had his 84th birthday and I guess he had his birthday before he passed.
