However, George Morgan was the writer of “Candy Kisses”. **the picture at 6:32 is Don Randall, NOT Leo Fender Leo Fender is not pictured here. Speedy West was inducted into the Pedal Steel Guitar Hall of Fame as one of the instrument’s most innovative performers. He was able to apply his unique style to country, jazz, and popular music. As a driving force on classic recordings with Jimmy Bryant, Speedy was also a long time product endorser for Fender Guitars. As a well respected gentleman, Speedy never lost his farm boy feeling and would sit and chat about music as much as his love of ranching. -Naam.org Speedy West on YouTube Music    / speedy west - topic   Speedy on Discogs https://www.discogs.com/artist/123064... 00:00- Video-Sample 00:36- Intro 01:50- Life Biography 08:55- Trademark Sound & Style 15:07- Discography & Recorded Work 19:38- Summary of Speedy's Story 20:05- Video of Speedy's last performance 😔 21:14- The Return of Speedy's Bigsby T-8! 22:16- Outro #pedalsteelguitar #steelguitar #vinylcommunity #honkytonk #Rockabilly #biography SOURCES SteelGuitarForum.com Mike Neer steelonious.com KimField.com Encyclopedia.com Naam.org Rocky-52.net New York Times Country Music Hall of Fame Bear Family Records I do not take any ownership of music displayed in this video.
