Felice Bryant, RIP

If you love the music of the Everly Brothers, you are an expert in the poetry of Felice Bryant, who wrote the words to many of the songs that made them famous. Her words inspired her husband Boudleaux to write the music. Together, they were a great team. Boudleaux died in 1987, shortly after their induction into the National Songwriters Hall of Fame. Mrs. Bryant died yesterday of cancer. Her AP obituary has a good summary of her life: “Nashville songwriter Felice Bryant dies.” The Country Music Hall of Fame has a nice page for the Bryants: “Boudleaux and Felice Bryant.”
