I was crushed to hear this news last night. Jim Weatherly was one of my dear friends of over 25 years. What a massive and long spanning career this man had. His work will be heard forever. I started writing songs with Jim just after Marty Gamblin signed me to Glen Campbell Music way back when. I’m so grateful to Marty for introducing me to such an extraordinarily talented human being. Most of all, a very kind and gracious human being. We wrote a lot of songs together and I sang a lot of demos for him. So many great memories rush back when we lose friends we love. I learned so much from him and, though he was a legendary songwriter and had written songs like “Midnight Train To Georgia,” “Neither One Of Us,” “The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me,” and “A Lady Like You,” he never made me feel not worthy of being in the room with him. He always made me feel important. But make no mistake, songwriting was serious business to Jim and every line counted. I learned that from him. He was a true craftsman. I still apply so much of what Jim taught me every time I sit down to write a song. “Every line counts.”
Jim co/wrote a song called “Someone Else’s Star” that changed my life forever. For that I will be forever indebted to him. I’ll miss you Jim. Many prayers going up for Cynthia, Brighton, and Zack
Please go listen to some of Jim’s incredible music today…

I’m very sorry to hear about this. His songs were fantastic and helped many artists, especially Gladys Knight, advance their careers. Many people are fans of his music and probably didn’t even know it. Peace and prayers to his family and friends.
