The blind Texan Leon Payne (1917-1969) is probably best remembered today as the songwriter who penned all-time classics like I Love You BecauseandYou've Still Got A Place In My Heart, as well as two songs best known through Hank Williams’ recorded versions, They'll Never Take Her Love From MeandLost Highway. He wrote hundreds of others, too, but he was also a vital and versatile performer who recorded prolifically from 1941 through the 1960s. He gained only mid-level stardom nationwide, though he remained a popular performer in his native Southwest until his death.
