OT: Country Artist Johnny Paycheck dies at 64

[CharlesBunch995]

Best known for 1977 hit 'Take This Job and Shove It'
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 19 - Country singer Johnny PayCheck, best known
for his 1977 working man's anthem "Take This Job and Shove It," has died at
64. PayCheck had been bedridden in a nursing home because of emphysema and
asthma. He died Tuesday, Grand Ole Opry spokeswoman Jessie Schmidt said.
SPECIALIZING IN EARTHY, plainspoken songs, PayCheck recorded 70 albums
and had more than two dozen hit singles. His biggest hit was "Take This Job
and Shove It," which inspired a movie by that name, and a title album that
sold 2 million copies.
His other hits included "Don't Take Her, She's All I Got,"
(which was revived 25 years later in 1996 by Tracy Byrd), "I'm the Only Hell
Mama Ever Raised," "Slide Off Your Satin Sheets," "Old Violin" and "You Can
Have Her."
"My music's always been about life. And situations. Situation
comedies, situation life," he said in 1997.
Born Donald Eugene Lytle on May 31, 1938, in Greenfield, Ohio, he took
the name Johnny Paycheck in the mid-1960s about a decade after moving to
Nashville to build a country music career. He began capitalizing the "c" in
PayCheck in the mid-1990s.
PayCheck's career was interrupted from 1989 to 1991 when he
served two years in prison for shooting a man in the head in an Ohio bar in
1985.
He and another ex-convict, country star Merle Haggard,
performed at the Chillicothe Correctional Institute in Ohio while PayCheck
was imprisoned there.
"I heard from fans constantly throughout the entire two years,"
PayCheck said after his release. "The letters never stopped, from throughout
the world. I looked forward to mail call every day."

Can someone do me a favor, please charm my ex-wife to Hillsboro, Ohio? Dangle a
check or something.

Send her to Cincinnati, my ex and her can hang out! Sadly, they wouldn't be
caught dead in Hillsboro...no malls, no rich men just cow pastures and
trailers everywhere.

I wouldn't do that to a resident of AEK or Hillsboro, for that matter.
