Songs of Cindy Walker

Saturday's program is a re-broadcast of Swing 'n' Country w/Wayne & Kathy first airing on August 8, 2020. The entire program was devoted to playing songs written by prolific songwriter Cindy Walker.

Cindy Walker (July 20, 1917 – March 23, 2006) was an American songwriter, as well as a country music singer and dancer. She wrote many popular and enduring songs recorded by many artists.

She adopted a craftsman-like approach to her songwriting, often tailoring particular songs to specific artists. She produced a large body of songs that have been described as “direct, honest and unpretentious”. She had Top 10 hits spread over five decades.

She was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame  in 1997, and the Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Fame in March 2011.
