Songwriter, singer, comedian and guitarist born in Griffin, Georgia and raised in Harlan, Kentucky.
Perhaps country music's greatest unknown songwriter as Smith aka Q sold his biggest songs outright for $25, $15 or even less. Sometimes he sold them just for the price of his bar tab. Q was a man of extraordinary talent, but also an alcoholic of legendary proportions.
