Van Zandt, Townes

Van Zandt, Townes
▪ 1998

      American country and folk musician whose public obscurity was countered by the high esteem with which he was held by the musicians who transformed his haunting ballads into such hits as "Pancho and Lefty" (Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard) and "If I Needed You" (Emmylou Harris and Don Williams). His songs inspired a new generation of songwriters including Nanci Griffith, who recorded a well-known version of Van Zandt's "Tecumseh Valley" (b. March 7, 1944—d. Jan. 1, 1997).
