Dead Page-- " You're No Good"

CLINT BALLARD, JR. 77

Songwriter Clint Ballard, Jr., died Dec. 23, 2008. He wrote more than 550 songs during his career, but the two biggest were "You're No Good" by Linda Ronstadt and "Game of Love" by Wayne Fontana & the Mindbenders. Both of these hit the #1 spot. He also wrote "I'm Alive" and "here I Go Again" by the Hollies and another big hit, "Good Timin'" by Jimmy Jones.

The Linda Ronstadt song came ten years after his first #1. He was born and raised in El Paso, Texas.

I really like all of these songs.
