Celebration Of Life Held For Mel Tillis

Country music mourns loss of legendary artist Mel Tillis

Mel Tillis passed away on this date in 2017. Mel was CMA Entertainer of the Year in 1976. He had numerous hits as an artist but wrote classics for other artists like “Detroit City” & “Ruby, Don’t Take Your Love To Town”. I’ll be forever grateful to Mel for giving me my first break in Nashville when he signed me to his publishing company. Mel’s daughter Pam asked me to co-host Mel’s memorial at the Ryman with Ralph Emery and i was honored to do so. #songwriter #countrymusic #nashville #legend | B
