Phillip Long wrote 'Want Someone To Remember Me' in 1975, and that song became his calling card. It's a quiet, reflective piece that people still mention when his name comes up. He was born in Macomb, Illinois, and started playing music in the mid-1960s with a band called The Shadows.
He put out a few albums in the late 1970s and early 1980s, like 'Alive and Kickin'' and 'Still Standing.' Some of his other songs include 'Naturally Sad,' 'Grace,' and 'Fly Away.' He worked with Emmylou Harris and Suzy Bogguss at different points.
Later on, he kept performing at smaller venues. The music has a folk and country feel to it, straightforward and personal.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
