Since the 2017 tag for notability and references, a fair amount of edits have been done to this article. Per the notability, in light of the fact that one of the songs he wrote (Bobby Sue, with collaborators) reached #1 on the Billboard Country Western charts, seems unjustified. The article appears to be largely encyclopedic at this point, with little evidence of close connection to the subject. Lastly, there are a number of citations verifying the accuracy of the article. As such, and perhaps with subsequent edits/improvements, I am removing the multiple issues tag. Bill McKenna (talk) 03:07, 6 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
