He may not be a household name, but he wrote the most
popular banjo instrumental of all time, "Feudin'
Banjos", which survived through several entities, as "Banjo
Breakdown" by Rusty York & Willard Hale, and eventually as "Dueling
Banjos" from the 1973 film Deliverance. Smith originally recorded "Feudin' Banjos" with bluegrass legend Don
Reno.
