My Take
What I respect most about Eddie Rabbitt is the order in which his career unfolded. He earned his stripes as a craftsman first, handing Elvis 'Kentucky Rain' and Ronnie Milsap 'Pure Love' before stepping into the spotlight himself. That is the mark of someone who loved the song more than the fame. A Brooklyn kid devoting his life to country music is a quietly bold choice, and he pulled it off with real warmth. He died too young at 57 in 1998, but the songs he wrote for others still play. To me, that is the truest kind of immortality a songwriter can hope for.
