@inkey2 I just checked ... Buck recorded "crying time" in 1964, Ray did in 1966. so, you are right. Ray covered Buck. So, after Ray´s death, Buck was certainly millions with the rights on this song.

I do not know who recorded it first... but Buck wrote it!... oh, I forgot another one.. "all I want for chrismas is you".... lyrics and music, guess who...

@lordsinclair1975 wow....i never knew he wrote "Crying Time".......wasn't that covered by Ray Charles?

[lordsinclair1975]

@inkey2 Hello.... Buck wrote hits like "crying time", "together again", he was co-writer and producer of "L.A. International Airport". I don´t know, if these are not hits and legendary songs of country music

@inkey2 Buck's musicians were some of the best... also if I may add, even though Buck's voice may not be astounding to listen to, it's always on pitch. Buck developed perfect pitch at some point in his life. This made it easier for his harmony singer and lead guitarist, Don Rich to harmonize. Don Rich sang harmony on a level equivalent to Paul McCartney, which is one of the reasons the Beatles loved Buck's music. Between the relateable songwriting, great harmonies, and tight band, he had "it".

@inkey2 And "Under Your Spell Again". The song writing is admittedly simple, but it's very easy to relate to for many people, myself included. Common emotions expressed eloquently, yet simply. But apart from that, Buck had a great band, if not the BEST band in country music history. His Buckaroos had such a tight sound live and in the studio that it could be awe inspiring at times. To top that off, they all improvised freely so the songs were free to take on their own life.

@inkey2 Well, most country music from the 50's and 60's (Hell, and a lot of the stuff today) is nothing more than 3 chords and, as Harlan Howard put it, the truth. It's about the feel, the song writing and the sound of the band. Buck wrote a lot of songs with Harlan Howard, who's one of the greatest song writers in country music history. Buck also developed a knack for developing "hooks" in his song writing. He wrote songs like "Together Again", "Love's Gonna Live Here", "My Heart Skips a Beat"

I know I am going to take a ton of crap about this but I never understood how Buck Owens got as far as he did.......his voice is average at best, his playing is just basic 5 chord strumming. Did he ever "write" any hit songs?........I could see if he was a great writer but not that good a player......maybe I'm wrong......please tell me what the attraction is......not kidding, tell me
