I am sure you are familiar with songs such as "Lord Mr. Ford" and "East Bound and Down" made famous by Jerry Reed and "Some Days Are Diamonds" which was recorded by John Denver and Bobby Bare to name but two. They were all written by Dick Feller who's also written songs for Jimmy – "L.A.Angels," "Boston" and "Memphis Morning News." The latter is featured on the albums "The Best That Love Can Give" and "Pieces of Life." Well known for his songs featured in the Jerry Reed/Burt Reynolds movie "Smokey and the Bandit" – Dick was writing songs long before those days.
