Robert Gene Yount (October 20, 1929 – June 30, 2005) was an American musician, singer and songwriter in the country music genre.
[3][4][5] As they were working with Dub Williams, (a pseudonym for James Pebworth), Miller and Yount gave him one-third of the song.
After the bankruptcy of Four Star's successor in interest, the copyright was acquired by Acuff-Ross Music.
Between 1983 and 1985 Acuff-Rose paid royalties to Yount, until they were notified by the family of the deceased William McCall of the 1958 assignment.
On December 24, 1996 the United States courts of appeals, Ninth Circuit, upheld the claim of the McCalls.
