Bob McDill: The Country Music Hall of Fame

Songwriter Bob McDill brought a literary sensibility, a tireless work ethic, and a deep appreciation of southern heritage to country music when he arrived in Nashville in 1970. Over the next three decades, he wrote numerous #1 country hits, including “Amanda,” “Don’t Close Your Eyes,” “Song of the South,” “Everything That Glitters (Is Not Gold),” and “Gone Country.”
Between 1972 and his retirement in 2000, McDill wrote numerous #1 country hits, including “Amanda,” “Don’t Close Your Eyes,” “Gone Country,” and “It Must Be Love.” Don Williams alone recorded more than thirty McDill songs, fourteen of them hits. Others who benefited from McDill’s works include Alabama, Crystal Gayle, Alan Jackson, and Waylon Jennings. At one point, four of McDill’s songs landed simultaneously on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles chart.
