March 3rd: On this day 2002
American songwriter Harlan Howard died aged 74. In a career spanning six decades, Howard wrote songs, recorded by a variety of different artists including “Fall to Pieces”, co-written with Hank Cochran and recorded by Patsy Cline. Howard was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1997.

As a child, he listened to the Grand Ole Opry radio show. In later years, Howard recalled the personal formative influence of country music:

“I was captured by the songs as much as the singer. They grabbed my heart. The reality of country music moved me. Even when I was a kid, I liked the sad songs… songs that talked about true life. I recognized this music as a simple plea. It beckoned me.” Harlan Howard

Howard was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1973, the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1997, and the Songwriters Hall of Fame also in 1997.[6] He died in Nashville in 2002, at the age of 74, and was buried in Nashville City Cemetery.
