At this time none of these site had been updated to reflect his death.
Billboard has the AP's story: http://www.billboard.com/articles/c...gwriter-for-atlanta-rhythm-section-dies-at-74
Perry Carlton 'Buddy' Buie died July 18, 2015 of a heart attack in a hospital in Dothan, Alabama, the town where he was born in 1941.
Buie's first big break came in 1964 when Tommy Roe had a hit with one of his songs. By the middle of the 1960s he was part of the legendary group Classics IV and in 1971 he got the original Atlanta Rhythm Section together and served as their producer throughout much of their history.
One of Buie's more frequent songwriting collaborators was ARS drummer Robert Nix, who died in 2012 and left the band in 1979. Buie and Nix knew each other from their associations with Roy Orbison's band, the Candymen, and ARS began as a collaboration between some of those musicians and members of Classics IV. In ARS they would team to create masterpieces like Imaginary Lover, Do It Or Die, So Into You, Champagne Jam, Doraville and a remake of the Classics IV's Spooky.
Buddy Buie was a dynamic and driving force behind the Southern music scene and many great bands we know including Lynyrd Skynyrd have some ties to Buie and the studios he worked in.
