1970s Country Star Freddie Hart, of ‘Easy Loving’ Fame, Dead at 91
Rest in peace Freddie.
Country singer Freddie Hart, who had a run of No. 1 hits in the early 1970s and won CMA, ACM and Grammy awards for his smash “Easy Loving,” died Saturday in Burbank at age 91.
Hart had five more No. 1 hits after his breakthrough with “Easy Loving” (which also made the top 20 on the pop chart) — all of them in the years 1971-73. His last top 10 hit was in 1977, and his last song in countries top 40 came in 1981.
Hart’s career encompassed several eras of country music, as he began his recording career as a California honky-tonk in the early 1950s but didn’t break through until 1971 when he had adopted the slicker “Nashville sound” of “Easy Loving,” which made him a star in his mid-40s.
