Arthur Alexander - Lonely Just Like Me: The Final Chapter

If you recall, our previous Arthur Alexander post ended with him retiring from music in the 70's, disillusioned and broke despite having written multiple songs that others (Dylan, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Joe Tex, Ike & Tina) had hits with. Arthur eventually became a school bus driver in Cleveland, OH and that would likely have been the end of it but in 1990 Alexander was inducted into the Alabama Music Hall Of Fame and subsequently coaxed out of retirement. He made this album in early 1993, he signed a new recording/publishing contract in May of 1993 and his band had begun making live appearances. Arthur even made an appearance on the syndicated radio show "Fresh Air". It appeared he was about to embark on a late life career resurgence but on June 9th of 1993 Alexander had a fatal heart attack.
