About Cindy Walker
Cindy Walker (July 20, 1917 – March 23, 2006) was an American songwriter, country music singer, and dancer. She wrote many popular and enduring songs recorded by many artists. She adopted a craftsman-like approach to her songwriting, often tailoring particular songs to specific artists. She produced a body of over 650 songs that have been described as “direct, honest, and unpretentious”. She had top-10 hits spread over five decades. She was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1997, and the Texas Heritage Songwriters Hall of Fame in March 2011. In 1944, Walker's highest-charting record, "When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again,” (not written by her) was a top-ten hit. Larry Crosby was impressed and aware that his brother was looking for a new Western song to record.
