Country Musician, Songwriter, and Producer. He was prominent in the Nashville, Tennessee country music scene since the 1960s through his songwriting and record production. He was born George Baker Richardson in Promise Land, Arkansas and raised in Malden, Missouri. A gifted pianist and lyricist, he came to Nashville in the late 1950s. His keyboard talent led to recording session work with Country stars Lefty Frizzell, Marty Robbins, Ernest Tubb, Tommy James, and Kenny Rogers, as well as former Beatles drummer Ringo Starr. He gained success as a songwriter with his co-written "I'll Share My World With You" for George Jones in 1969, followed by "A Woman Lives For Love" for Wanda Jackson, "Heavenly Sunshine" for Ferlin Husky, and "Then He Touched Me" for Jean Shepard, all in 1970. Huskey followed up with his co-penned "Your Sweet Love Lifted Me" later that same year. In the 1970s, he wrote many major hits for future wife Tammy Wynette and Wynette's then-husband, George Jones, including Jones' "A Picture of Me (Without You)"(1972) and "The Grand Tour" (1974), and Wynette's "'Til I Can Make It On My Own" (1976) and "You and Me" (1976), and co-wrote the Jones-Wynette duets "We Loved it Away" (1974) and "Southern California' (1976). In addition to Wynette, he also produced records for Country stars Merle Haggard, Johnny Horton, Wanda Jackson, Sonny James, Billie Jo Spears, The Oak Ridge Boys, Claude King, and others. His other 1970s song successes included "Keep Me in Mind" (Lynn Anderson, 1973), "Good News" (Jody Miller, 1973), "Soul Song" (Joe Stampley, 1973), "You've Got Me," (Connie Smith, 1973), "I'm Still Loving You" (Joe Stampley, 1974), "Take Me Home to Somewhere" (Joe Stampley, 1974), and "Every Word I Write" (Dottie West, 1977). From 1970 until 1977 he was the musical director for the television show "Hee Haw." In 1978 he married Country music singer Tammy Wynette (his 3rd, her 5th and last) until her death in 1998 and served as her manager. In 2001 he married Dallas Cowboys cheerleader turned television producer Shelia Slaughter until his death. He died of complications from chronic obstructive pulmonary Disease (COPD) at the age of 74.
