I’m a total homebody.”
Geoff Mack –
Singer, songwriter, one hit wonder.
December 20, 1922 – July 21, 2017.
Aged 94 years.
Most recognized for: While fixing planes for the RAAF during WWII, he started writing tunes. Ultimately, he came up with the traveler’s anthem “I’ve Been Everywhere.” Recorded over 130 different ways by countless artists (including Johnny Cash,) this one song got Mr. Mack inducted into Nashville’s Songwriters Hall of Fame… and presumably a lifetime’s worth of royalty checks.
