Country artist Bill Phillips, 74, passed away on Aug. 23rd. Phillips chart career began with 1958's "Lying Lips" and ended during the 1980s scoring a total of 4 U.S. country top 10 hits. During the decade, he would release one album, 1980's When Can We Do This Again, and two singles (1981's Dance The Night Away" and 1987's "One By One.") Phillips' 1966 hit, "Put It Off Until Tomorrow," holds the distinctions of being his biggest hit, having a -- then 19 year-old -- Dolly Parton on vocal harmony (although uncredited) and being the first hit penned by Parton. A funeral service is expected to take place today at 1pm in Tennessee.
