NY Daily News: Country songwriter Curly Putman died early Sunday at the age of 85, Nashville TV station WSMV reported.
Putman's most well-known tunes include “Green, Green Grass of Home” and “He Stopped Loving Her Today."
Back during my decades as a professional musician, circa 1981 or so, I sat in on piano behind Curly at a club in Nashville while he sang THE GREEN GREEN GRASS OF HOME. I was positively thrilled.

I remember hearing "He Stopped Loving Her Today" on the radio all the time when I was younger. A great song.
An all-time Top Ten for me.
