	Johnny Paycheck
		"...Paycheck is in the hospital with severe emphysema and diabetes and is not interviewable at this point," came the somber reply to a request for a few minutes to interview the Johnny Paycheck.
		Paycheck had some minor chart success with a few less abrasive tunes but by 1970, Little Darlin's financial well had dried up and Johnny, whose drinking had by then exceeded legendary, needed to dry out.
		Although the image now clashed stylistically with the music Paycheck made it work with his inarguable singing prowess and a pen as sharp as his ear was keen for a terrific country song.

	Johnny PayCheck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		That Paycheck is remembered for a fairly amusical novelty song and a violent crime (for which he spent two years in prison) is a shame, for it just so happens that he is one of the mightiest honky tonkers of his time.
		Born and raised in Greenfield, OH, Paycheck was performing in talent contests by the age of nine and riding the rails as a drifter by the time he turned 15.
		Paycheck's first outlaw album, 1976's 11 Months and 29 Days (which happened to be the length of his suspended sentence for passing a bad check), featured a photo of him in a jail cell on the cover, signalling his change of direction.

		PayCheck's career was interrupted from 1989 to 1991 when he served two years in prison for shooting a man in the head in an Ohio bar in 1985.
		Still, PayCheck said when people came to hear him play, they still expected to see the whiskey-drinking, cocaine-using, wild-eyed performer with unkempt hair and a surly frown — a reputation he built early in his career.
		PayCheck was playing the guitar by age 6 and singing professionally by age 15.

		Johnny Paycheck (born Don Lytle in 1938) is best known to the wider world for his 1978 crossover hit "Take this Job and Shove It," but that was his last rebel yell that wasn't a self-parody.

		He stayed with Jones for four years, fronting the Jones Boys between 1962 and 1966, and singing backup on George's hits "I'm a People," "The Race Is On," and "Love Bug." Toward the end of his stint with Jones, Donald Lytle refashioned himself as Johnny Paycheck, taking his name from a Chicago heavyweight boxer.
		Also that year, he wrote Tammy Wynette's first hit, "Apartment #9," with Bobby Austin and Fuzzy Owen; Paycheck also wrote Ray Price's number three hit "Touch My Heart." All of Paycheck's recordings for Little Darlin' Records rank among his grittiest, hardest country, but they weren't necessarily big hits.

		More than a decade before the bearded, cowboy-hat-wearing Paycheck hit the big time with the defiant "Take This Job and Shove It," the Ohio native was a baby-faced singer belting out songs in the country-crooner vein of George Jones and Ray Price.
