- To confirm your permission, you can either display a notice to this effect at the site of original publication or send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en at wikimedia dot org or a postal letter to the Wikimedia Foundation. These messages must explicitly permit use under CC-BY-SA and the GFDL. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- Note that articles on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view and must be verifiable in published third-party sources; consider whether, copyright issues aside, your text is appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia.
To demonstrate that this text is in the public domain, or is already under a license suitable for Wikipedia, click "Show".
Explain this on this article's discussion page, with reference to evidence. Wikipedia:Public domain and Wikipedia:Compatibly licensed may assist in determining the status. Otherwise, you may write a new article without copyright-infringing material. Click "Show" to read where and how.
Your rewrite should be placed on this page, where it will be available for an administrator or clerk to review it at the end of the listing period. Follow this link to create the temporary subpage.
- Simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be cleanly removed or the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. (See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing.)
- For license compliance, any content used from the original article must be properly attributed; if you use content from the original, please leave a note at the top of your rewrite saying as much. You may duplicate non-infringing text that you had contributed yourself.
- It is always a good idea, if rewriting, to identify the point where the copyrighted content was imported to Wikipedia and to check to make sure that the contributor did not add content imported from other sources. When closing investigations, clerks and administrators may find other copyright problems than the one identified. If this material is in the proposed rewrite and cannot be easily removed, the rewrite may not be usable.
- State that you have created a rewrite on this article's discussion page.

Biography
Brown was born in Fort Worth, Texas and raised in Menard, Texas, the son of Texas ranchers. In sixth grade, Brown began writing short stories and poetry; it was that talent which transitioned into songwriting when he learned to play the guitar at the age of thirteen. It was shortly thereafter that Brown began performing at local talent shows and dance halls. After graduating from high school, he immersed himself in the thriving music scene in the area. This led to eventually being discovered by executives from Monument Records.[1]
Brown moved to Nashville in late 1982. His songs have been recorded by many artists including Tanya Tucker, Gene Watson, Tammy Wynette, Nanci Griffith, Maura O'Connell, Crystal Gayle, Sammy Kershaw, Ray Price (multiple recordings), John Michael Montgomery, Randy Travis (multiple recordings),Ricky Van Shelton, George Strait (multiple recordings), Pam Tillis, David Ball, Clay Walker, Michael Martin Murphey, Gary Allan, Kenny Chesney, Johnny Bush, Trace Adkins, Jennifer Weatherly (multiple recordings), Deryl Dodd, Patty Loveless, Kevin Fowler, Mark Chesnutt, Alecia Nugent, Rhonda Vincent, Dolly Parton, Sally Berry and Tensel Sandker (as Next Best Thing Band), Hey Romeo, The Boom Chucka Boys, Willie Nelson,[1] and Barbara Streisand.[2]
In 1996, Brown was signed as an artist by Decca Records and saw the release of the critically acclaimed EP Roger Brown & Swing City. The EP contained new material recorded as western swing recordings.[3]
He was nominated for a Tony Award in 2002 for two of his songs which were in the Broadway musical Urban Cowboy and has had compositions recorded on numerous gold and platinum albums, and in the feature films A Fire in the Sky and Red Rock West.[1] Brown was awarded the 2012 CCMA Songwriter of the Year for the song "Is It Friday Yet?", a song he penned with Nashville songwriter Byron Hill, and Canadian artist Gord Bamford.
Brown currently serves on the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) board of directors and is on the Legislative Committee. He actively lobbies with the NSAI in Washington, D.C. for various current songwriter issues and legislation, and was instrumental in securing private health insurance for songwriters. Brown also serves as NSAI’s liaison to the Texas Songwriters Association.[2]
