friend Eddie Stubbs says Wright died of natural causes on Tuesday at his home.
Stubbs says he had been in failing health for some time. Wright was a lifelong
Nashville resident who came to fame as a member of the country duo Johnnie and
Jack, which recorded hits such as "Ashes of Love," ''I Get So
Lonely," ''Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight" and "Poison
Love" in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
Anglin died in a car crash in
1963, and Johnny then began a solo career with a No. 1 hit "Hello
Vietnam," featured in the 1987 movie "Full Metal Jacket."
