I didn't recognize Ms. Walker's name before last week, when I stumbled across her name (along with co-writer Eddy Arnold's) when Googling chords-and-lyrics for "You Don't Know Me."
It was no more than a day later, as I was just getting my rendition of the song worked up, that my wife told me she had just heard an NPR report on the passing of a great country songwriter named Cindy Walker, and asked me if I had ever heard of her. I had to admit I really hadn't known the name until just the previous day, but that we had both heard some of her great work.
Thanks for the links in this thread, which helped me learn more about Ms Walker's wonderful legacy.
