Notes:
#9 Pseudonym for Buzz Cason, Nashville performer-writer-producer most famous 
for co-writing “Everlasting Love”, the most popular pop song to ever come 
out of Nashville. (Not the most LEGENDARY- “You Owe it to Me”- that’s 
anotherstoryalltogtherboysandgirls)
Charted the same time (with weeks listed Cash Box chart): Miles (9); Billy 
Vaughn & Orchestra (7); Garry Mills (actual name) (7); Deane Hawley (9) 
Nicki Como (7)
#19 (cont) Bakker, the irrepressible, irasci- STOP IT! (Ok.) Gary S. Paxton 
(“Don’t forget the S. It’s a third of my entire name.”) I once heard him say 
he wrote (I thought 10,000), but upon farther preview, maybe it was 2,000 
songs. That’s still a lot! Not to mention the Skip and Flip.

He gave us the burning question, not only of the moment, the year, the 
decade, the century, the millennium (it doesn’t matter which), but 
throughout all the ages: “Will There be Hippies in Heaven?” AND QUASI-SELF-
ANSWERED IT: “I certainly hope so. I really do want to go.” And not many CCM 
artists could get away with: “When the Meat Wagon Comes for You”. Maybe 
Steve Taylor, Todd Snider, Bruce Cockburn. Although none would probably be 
that crass.
