I did a bunch of things here. First off, I tried to put some substance into the lead, and took out the "tooshort" box. If anyone thinks it's still too short, let me know and/or add more to it. I also added some stuff to the body, including his writing "A Lover's Question", the source of his name, and some more chart stuff. More details/cites welcome. Finally, I cleaned up the links--there were a lot of titles that led to completely irrelevant articles (e.g. "Today", "Revenge"). I only left in links where the article was relevant, or red links where there seems a legit hope that there might eventually be an article. In fact, I intend to write an article on "It's Just A Matter Of Time" sometime soon; this is way too important a song not to have an entry here. Anyone with relevant facts/citations, please post here or on my talk page and I'll include them.

If someone wants to be helpful and correct the capitalization in the chart box, that would be helpful. I'm just too tired at the moment. B^)

Adding to what I said above, it turns out there is an article for "It's Just A Matter Of Time" after all; the link has been corrected. I also added a bunch of material to that page.

I tried to create a category for Benton songs, but it doesn't seem to have worked. If anyone has more expertise than I, please do so.
