North Florida Music Hall of Fame

Jacksonville guitarist and songwriter who co-wrote most of the hits for The Classics IV, including their 1967 top-10 smash, “Spooky.” Cobb left the touring band to concentrate on writing and producing, and was replaced by former Thunderbeats guitarist Mac Doss, from Bradenton. He later co-founded the Atlanta Rhythm Section with fellow Jacksonville native Robert Nix, and co-wrote much of that group’s material as well. He also performed alongside Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson in country supergroup the Highwaymen. Also see Classics IV; Nix, Robert.
