Answer 1

Here's his autobiograhpy.

Eddie Rabbitt (born November 27, 1941 - May 7, 1998) was a country music singer, who enjoyed much Pop success in his career, helping develop the crossover influenced sound in Country music during the 1970s and 80s. During his career, he scored 26 number-ones

Rabbitt was born Edward Thomas Rabbitt in Brooklyn, New York, but he was raised in East Orange, New Jersey. In the 60s, Eddie recorded for 20th Century Records and Columbia Records. In 1968, he moved out to Nashville, where he got his first start as a songwriter. In the beginning, Roy Drusky and George Morgan cut songs he wrote. His biggest success as a songwriter came in 1970, when Elvis Presley recorded his song "Kentucky Rain". The song became one of Presley's biggest hits and made Rabbit a big star in terms of songwriting.

Rabbitt signed with Elektra Records in 1974. Initially, success didn't come, but in 1976, Rabbitt got his first #1 Country hit with the song "Drinkin' My Baby (Off My Mind)". He achieved more recognition with the songs "You Don't Love Me Anymore" and "Every Which Way But Loose".

However, his biggest hits have to be "I Love a Rainy Night" and "Drivin' My Life Away", both hits for him in 1980. These hits are also probably his best-known and signature tunes. In the 1980s, Rabbitt enjoyed further success in music. In 1982, he teamed up with another Country/Pop crossover star, Crystal Gayle to record the duet "You and I". The duet eventually became a big Country/Pop crossover smash for both of them that same year.

His other #1s include "The Best Year of My Life", "I Wanna Dance With You" and "Both to Each Other (Friends and Lovers)". However, in the 1980s, his success was starting to fade. His singles didn't even make the Pop Top 40 during this time.

In 1977, he was named Top New Male Vocalist by the Academy of Country Music Awards.

In 1981, he also won an American Music Award for Best Pop Male Vocalist in 1981.

As the 1980s came to an end, Rabbitt moved more and more away from crossover-styled music. His career declined as contemporary artists such as Garth Brooks and Clint Black rose on the country music charts. However he did continue to record and tour. In the 1990s, he recorded very little, in part because of the illness and subsequent death of his young son. After his son died, Rabbitt became active in raising money for organizations that aid sick children.

During his career, Rabbitt scored 26 #1 hits on the country charts and eight Top 40 pop hits. On May 7, 1998 Rabbitt died of lung cancer at the age of 56, and is interred in the Calvary Cemetery in Nashville, Tennessee.
