Veteran songwriter, arranger, singer and prolific session musician Billy Strange died today in Nashville aged 81.
Billy’s songwriting credits include “Memories,” which he penned with Mac Davis for Elvis Presley’s 1968 television special, as well as several of the stronger Elvis movies songs, such as “Clean Up Your Own Backyard” and “A Little Less Conversation.” The latter became a worldwide number one when remixed in 2002.
