Freddy Powers, Country Singer-Songwriter, Dies at 84

Lauded songwriter, producer and musician Freddy Powers died Tuesday after a long battle with Parkinson's disease. He was 84.

The Seminole, Texas native penned a string of Number One hits for Merle Haggard in the Eighties, including "Let's Chase Each Other Around the Room," "A Place to Fall Apart" and "Natural High," and also wrote George Jones' chart-topping "I Always Get Lucky With You." A longtime friend and sometime bandmate of Willie Nelson, he co-produced Nelson's 1981 album, Somewhere Over the Rainbow, which went on to platinum-selling status.

The musician founded the Freddy Powers Parkinson Organization to raise funds for research into the disease. He is survived by wife Catherine.
