In 2006 singer/songwriter Freddy Powers was honored by the Texas Heritage Songwriters Association, which noted in his Hall of Fame award: “Freddy Powers may not be as famous as his powerful pals Merle Haggard, George Jones, and Willie Nelson, but his award winning hit songs and production work are behind-the-scenes testaments to his talent and success.”
Many of Powers’ songs have been recorded by Merle Haggard, and his career includes BMI #1 Song awards for: “I Always Get Lucky With You," “Let's Chase Each Other Around The Room Tonight,” “Friend in California,” and “A Place To Fall Apart.”
In 2009 Freddy Powers donated a substantial archive to the Wittliff Collections as part of the Texas Heritage Songwriters' Association Collection, received in conjunction with the Center for Texas Music History.
