Eddie Rabbitt
Edward Thomas "Eddie" Rabbitt (November 27, 1941 – May 7, 1998) was an American singer and songwriter. His career began as a songwriter in the late 1960s, springboarding to a recording career after composing hits such as "Kentucky Rain" for Elvis Presley in 1970 and "Pure Love" for Ronnie Milsap in 1974. Later in the 1970s, Rabbitt helped to develop the crossover-influenced sound of country music prevalent in the 1980s with such hits as "Suspicions" and "Every Which Way but Loose." His duets "Both to Each Other (Friends and Lovers)" and "You and I", with Juice Newton and Crystal Gayle respectively, later appeared on the soap operas ''Days of Our Lives'' and ''All My Children''.
==Early life==
Rabbitt was born to Irish immigrants in Brooklyn, New York in 1941, and was raised in the nearby community of East Orange, New Jersey.〔(" Eddie Rabbitt, 56, Whose Songs Zigzagged From Pop to Country" ), ''The New York Times'', May 9, 1998. Retrieved November 3, 2007.〕 His father was an oil-refinery refrigeration worker, and a skilled fiddle and accordion player, who often entertained in local New York City dance halls. By age twelve Rabbitt was a proficient guitar player, having been taught by his scoutmaster, Bob Scwickrath.〔Blouch, Judd. "Rabbitt hops into Eisenhower Saturday," Penn State University, September 23, 1981〕 During his childhood Rabbitt became a self-proclaimed "walking encyclopedia of country music". After his parents divorced, he dropped out of school at age sixteen. His mother, Mae, explained this action by saying that Eddie "was never one for school () his head was too full of music." He later obtained a high school diploma after taking courses at night school.〔Flippo, Chet. "Country Vet Rabbitt Dies," ''Billboard Magazine'', May 23, 1989〕
