Boudleaux Bryant
Boudleaux Bryant, born Diadorius Boudleaux Bryant on February 13, 1920, in Shellman, Georgia, was a renowned American songwriter best known for his work with his wife, Felice Bryant. A classically trained violinist, Boudleaux played with the Atlanta Philharmonic Orchestra during the 1937-38 season but was more drawn to country fiddling. He joined Hank Penny's Radio Cowboys and later worked with Gene Steele & His Sunny Southerners in Memphis before moving on to a touring jazz group.

In 1945, while performing at Milwaukee’s Schroeder Hotel, Boudleaux met Matilda Genevieve "Felice" Scaduto, an elevator operator who had a passion for poetry. The couple married shortly after meeting and began their prolific songwriting partnership. They initially struggled financially, living in a mobile home and writing over 80 songs before achieving success. Their break came when Little Jimmy Dickens recorded their song "Country Boy," which reached No. 7 on the country chart in 1948, leading to a working relationship with Fred Rose at Acuff-Rose Music.

In 1950, the Bryants moved to Nashville to pursue songwriting full-time. They gained national prominence in 1957 with a series of hits for the Everly Brothers, including "Bye Bye Love" and "Wake Up Little Susie." Their songs were recorded by a wide range of artists across various genres, influencing the sound of the 20th century. Boudleaux and Felice Bryant were inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1991, recognizing their significant contributions to music. Boudleaux passed away on June 25, 1987, in Nashville, Tennessee.
