Few songwriters could pull listeners into a story the way Don Chapel did. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, his songs were cut by country music performers ranging from George Jones and Tammy Wynette to Conway Twitty. A gifted storyteller, the Kentucky native built a repertoire brimming with compelling narratives, interesting subject matter, and creative wordplay.
Bluegrass singer-songwriter Rhonda Vincent once referred to Chapel as a legendary songwriter.
