Stewart "found" Merle Haggard, signed him to his band, and wrote his his first few songs that Haggard used to get started. Buck Owens later said that Stewart was a major influence on his sound, and Owens was a major influence on Ringo Starr. Along the way, he managed to collect most of Lefty Frizzell's band.
That's a portrait of a generous man, one who deserves more fame then he ended with.
I Keep Forgettin' I Forgot About You (Songwriter: Wynn Stewart)
I keep forgettin' not to remember you
to get you out of my mind
Never more to be swayin' by all of your charms
I keep forgettin' not to remember you
oh so much of the time
How I wish you had stayed here in my arms
There's no sleep for me no more
I stay awake and walk the floor
I keep forgettin' that we're supposed to be true
Loneliness is my downfall
for some time I almost climb the wall
I keep forgettin' that I've forgot about you
I can't get used to it there's no end to it
feeling lonely all day
Some old mem'ry's always coming around
And that old memory comes to torture me
and I know right away
That I'll have to forget all over again
There's no sleep for me no more
I stay awake and walk the floor
I keep forgettin' that we're supposed to be true
Loneliness is my downfall
for some time I almost climb the wall
I keep forgettin' that I've forgot about you
I keep forgettin' that I've forgot about you
