Country Artists We’ve Lost in 2012: Joe South

Country songwriter Joe South wrote hits for Lynn Anderson, Elvis Presley and Billy Joe Royal during his long career in the music business. His biggest hit was 'Rose Garden,' a late '60s hit for Anderson, but he also scored one of his own for 'Games People Play' in 1969. In addition to being a songwriter, South -- born Joe Souter in Atlanta, Ga. in 1970 -- was an accomplished studio musician. The Nashville Songwriters Hall of Famer died in September after a period of failing health.
