Justin Wayne Tubb (August 20, 1935 – January 24, 1998)
Biography
By 1954, Tubb made it on the country chart with two duets with
Goldie Hill—("Looking Back to See" and "Sure Fire Kisses").
A year later, at age 20, he was made a member of the Grand Ole Opry.
Tubb had a few recordings of his own that enjoyed success, including "I Gotta Go Get My Baby" and "Take a Letter Miss Gray", but he was more successful as a songwriter.
He penned many hit songs for other performers, including "Keeping Up With the Joneses", "Love Is No Excuse", and "Lonesome 7-7203", a hit for
Hawkshaw Hawkins.
Ultimately, six of his songs won awards.
In the late 1950s, he roomed with a young, up-and-coming songwriter named
Roger Miller.
During the 1960s, Tubb worked with his father on various business projects.
His wife was Carolyn McPherson Tubb.
