Gene Clark

Gene Clark is best known for his short stint with The Byrds in 1965 as a singer/primary songwriter. Although his partners, Roger McGuinn and David Crosby, were both ranked above him, he was the band's songwriter. He wrote and sang some of the band's best songs including "Feel A Whole Lot Better", "Eight Miles High", and "She Don't Care About Time". After leaving The Byrds because of a fear of flying, his career garnered little commercial but great critical success. He died only a few months after being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as a member of The Byrds.
