On Tuesday 6 August 2024, Gene Watson offered belated birthday greetings to Bobby Braddock, one of the greatest songwriters in the world.
‘Nashville is blessed with some of the greatest songwriters in the world, and one to celebrate is Bobby Braddock, who turned 84 yesterday (Monday 5 August 2024).
He has 13 No.1s, with some being among the greatest songs of real country music.
(Saturday 12 September 1931 – Friday 26 April 2013)
One that I know you know is by George Jones (Saturday 12 September 1931 – Friday 26 April 2013), ‘He Stopped Loving Her Today’.
Happy belated birthday!’
