Beloved country and western lyricist who passed away
on 9th August 2004.
It is unclear as to what the cause of death was, although a friend
said he was diabetic and had been receiving dialysis treatments. Sam left behind a catalogue of 179
songs listed with BMI and was nominated twice for the Country Music Association's
Song of the Year award, once for Don Williams' #1 hit "I
Believe In You" which he co-wrote with Roger Cook and once for "A
Broken Wing", recorded by Martina McBride, which he co-wrote with
Cook, Phil Barnhart, and James House.
Other artists who have sung his words include Sara Evans, Crystal
Gayle, George Jones, Shania Twain, and Lee Ann Womack.
