Several of his songs have been number one hits including George Strait's "Fool Hearted Memory" in 1982, Alabama's "Born Country" in 1992, and Gary Allan's "Nothing On But The Radio" in 2005. His songs have since generated more than 700 recordings, earning seventy-seven RIAA certified gold and platinum awards, ten ASCAP awards, thirty-two U.S. and Canadian top-ten chart hits including numerous hits in other worldwide markets.
