Carl Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I heard the Deep Purple version of "Hush" at least 100 times before learning that Joe South wrote it. What an incredible songwriter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an incredible songwriter. I learned it was his song a couple of years ago... He wrote "Rose Garden" too, another of my fave ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
