Shel did some great songs with Bob Gibson, but lest we miss some of his finest moments, don't ever forget his teaming up with Bobby Bare through the 70's and early 80's. The "Hills of Shiloh" came out of "Lullabies, Legends and Lies." This is one of my favorites:

Sometimes you sing for the money.
Sometimes you sing for the song.
Sometimes you sing for the dewy-eyed darlin'.
You can still make em' cry, don't you know.
Sometime you sing for the glory,
But glory don' last very long.
And in the haze of the stage, do you remember the days
When you used to sing for the song?

Sing for the song, boys,
Just like you did when you stood on the corner
And didn't even feel the rain.
Sing for the song, boy,
Just like you did before all of them fast-talkin' ladies got hold of you soul.
Sing for the song...

And you never did make too much money,
But you always put on a good show.
And those dewy-eyed darlin's next week will be cryin'
For somebody else, don't you know;
But your music's become your tradition,
Though the words are all twisted and wrong,
And the hits that they sell just don't taste very well,
Like when you used to sing for the song.

SING FOR THE SONG...done in 1978 by Bobby Bare

God bless you, Shel...
