Country singer Freddie Hart, a World War II veteran who had a run of number one hits in the early 1970s and won a Grammy Award for Easy Loving, is dead. He was 91. He died on October 27 in Burbank, reports said.
Hart’s career encompassed several eras of country music. He started in the early 1950s but didn’t break through until 1971, when he had adopted the slicker “Nashville sound” of “Easy Loving,” which made him a star in his mid-40s. Hart was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2004, not just for his own hits but for the songs he had recorded by Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Buck Owens, George Jones, Waylon Jennings, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Porter Wagoner, Eddy Arnold, Carl Smith and dozens of others.
