Johnny Paycheck Biography |
|
Outlaw honky-tonker Johnny Paycheck died on Tuesday, February 18 in Nashville, Tennessee. He had been in a care facility suffering from emphysema and asthma. It was originally reported that he was in a nursing home in Georgia but it was confirmed that he was actually in Nashville. Donald Lytle, ultimately Johnny Paycheck, had a number of record deals and some chart success before a down-and-out Paycheck was recycled to Epic Records producer Billy Sherrill in 1971. His first record on Epic, "She's All I Got." Soared to the number 2 spot on the Billboard charts and started a long run of hit records for the little scrapper from Greenfield, Ohio. Other hits included "Someone To Give My Love To," "Love Is A Good Thing," "Mr. Lovemaker," and the working class anthem, "Take This Job And Shove It." Like so many other country singers, Paycheck was rowdy in his younger days, and had enough run-ins with the law to be considered a true country outlaw, but he developed a distinctive style that is pure pleasure to fans that love the honky-tonk side of country music. br>Johnny Paycheck Discography |
