"I Go Crazy" songwriter Paul Davis dies
JACKSON, Mississippi (AP) -April 22, 2008 Davis died today at a hospital in Meridian, Mississippi, the
city where he grew up. He died of a heart attack, according to his
cousin, James Edwards. Davis was 60.
"I Go Crazy" peaked at number seven in 1977 eight months after
its release. It then stayed in the Top 100 for 40 more weeks,
according to Billboard.
Davis also had hits with "65 Love Affair," and "You're Still
New To Me," a country duet with Marie Osmond.
Edwards says Davis came back to Mississippi after living in New
York and Nashville so he could retire. He says Davis "was living
life at the slow pace that suited him."
