    Actually Bonds wrote wnd recorded "Not Me," which was a mild hit for him, but
    a
    pretty big hit for the Orlons, peaking at # 12 on the national pop chart,
    both
    Billboard and Cash Box.

    He also wrote "(Don't Take Her) She's All I Got" which was a major >country hit twice, for Johnny Paycheck in 1971 and for Tracy Byrd in >1997.

    Thanks Brett.

    These guys talk like comparing Civay and Bonds as songwriters is like comparing
    Babe Ruth to Mario Mendoza.

    Yes, Covay is a better songwriter than Bonds IMO, but it's nowhere near being
    as great a difference as people think.
    In my opinion it's better, but I'm reassured by your comments today --
    I was beginning to suspect that you were the kind of guy who talks a
    lot of shit about people behind their back to pump himself up, then is
    polite as pie in person.

    2022 Update: Now gone, still "bridging the gaps" forever.
