Will Jennings

Jennings wrote “Please Remember Me” with Rodney Crowell, who released his version in 1995. McGraw earned a five-week No. 1 hit in 1999 with his soaring rendition. Faith Hill included Jennings’ “Where Are You Christmas?” on her 2000 holiday album. An East Texas native, Jennings landed his first No. 1 country Country hit in 1975 with “Feelins’” by Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn. He was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2013. His incredible pop catalog includes Eric Clapton’s “Tears in Heaven,” Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes’ “Up Where We Belong,” Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On,” Whitney Houston’s “Didn’t We Almost Have It All,” Barry Manilow’s “Looks Like We Made It,” and Steve Winwood’s “Higher Love.”
