Thomas T. Hall (May 25, 1936 – August 20, 2021)
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tom T. Hall, the singer-songwriter
who composed “Harper Valley P.T.A.” and sang about life’s
simple joys as country music’s consummate blue collar bard,
has died.
His son, Dean Hall, confirmed the musician’s death on Friday
at his home in Franklin, Tennessee. Hall, known as “The
storyteller” for his unadorned yet incisive lyrics, composed
hundreds of songs.
