Amazing Rhythm Aces singer Russell Smith has died at the age of 70
Smith was also a hit songwriter, co-penning Number One hits for Randy Travis , T. Graham Brown and Ricky Van Shelton . With Dave Loggins, he co-wrote “Heartbeat in the Darkness,” which would be the final chart-topping hit for country legend Don Williams. His songs were also recorded by Tanya Tucker, Rosanne Cash, Kenny Rogers, the Oak Ridge Boys and many others.
In addition, beginning in 1993 Smith led Run C&W, a novelty bluegrass supergroup also featuring the Eagles’ Bernie Leadon and songwriters Jim Photoglo and Vince Melamed. Their songs mainly parodied popular country hits including “Achy Breaky Heart,” reimagined as “Itchy Twitchy Spot.” A graduate of Macon Country High School in Lafayette, Smith was a member of the Macon County Marching Tigers Band. On Facebook, Smith’s son Matthew wrote that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the school’s marching band program. “He spent his life working to fill the world with music and love,” Smith wrote. “He was especially fond of the song, ‘Give Me [the] Flowers While I’m Living,’ which seems oddly appropriate for this.
