In 1999, cowboy singer Eddie Dean passed away. He was known especially as songwriter of two popular songs, "One Has My Heart, The Other Has My Name", and "I Dreamed Of A Hillbilly Heaven". Two classic songs from a classic cowboy, and even though Jimmy Wakely and Tex Ritter had the really big hits on these two songs, Eddie Dean still made the top twenty with both.
