Yesterday was Ralph Emery's 76th birthday. He's lived long enough to know that he was wrong, I hope he lives to be 100 to rub his face in it.

@dadzbluz ...thanks for the note...I have been a big reader of rock history and certain bands since 1970..numerous Stones books and finished Grievous Angel : An Intimate Biography of Gram Parsons ...Which explained what you wrote...That Gram knew classic and obscure Country songs and turned Keith and then later Mick onto...I know Gram didn't get credit like you said, just a big influrence...I love the Stones and Gram...Peace Out!!

@1stSaintsFan Wild Horses is a Jagger-Richards composition, although Gram Parsons friendship with Keith and time spent with the Stones in France certainly influenced their writing. Keith Richards and Gram were both big country fans. In the documentary about Gram Parsons life his widow, Gretchen said that Mick and Keith' "gave Gram the song to record." The Stones also ensured the opening spot for The Burritos at Altamont. I was there and they were the openiing band! They were GREAT! Luv, BluzKat

@mdudesk1 He spent his early years in Waycross, GA, but moved to Winter Haven, FL, where his mother's family ran a citrus empire. I went to high school with him -- that was a trip, as anyone else can tell you who knew him from that

I got into Gram Parsons a little late...Was a Stones Fan since 1970 and loving Wild Horses by the Stones led me to the earlier Burrito version,,,

It was on some out-take bootlegs from Woodstock, I think his last name was spelled Shurtleff, and he ad-libbed a verse about Ronald Reagan !
