I loved watching him host, play guitar and do comedy on Hee Haw in the 70s when I was a kid. He wrote a number of huge hits including the much covered "Together Again".

Tough till the end, he died after playing a gig last night.

Folks outside the US probably arent familiar with his work, but thats not stopping me from spamming.
