Claim: In addition to his own singles, Ronnie Rogers wrote songs for the band, Alabama, including "Dixie Delight" which was written about his girlfriend, and became Alabama's ninth Number One song on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart,.
Evidence: Randall "Ronnie" Rogers (born in Nashville, Tennessee) is an American country music singer and songwriter. Rogers has also co-written several singles for the band Alabama, including the Number One hits "Dixieland Delight" and "Jukebox in My Mind." Songwriter Ronnie Rogers, who previously had hits with Ed Bruce, Dave Dudley, Tanya Tucker and others, recalled to country music journalist Tom Roland that the idea for "Dixieland Delight" came to him when he was driving down Highway 11W, a road in Rutledge, Tennessee. The song's first line ("Rollin' down a backwoods, Tennessee byway; one arm on the wheel") soon led into an image of the main character's other arm wrapped around his girlfriend and - with a long, hard work week at an end - envisioning a weekend of fun and relaxation with her. Released in January 1983, "Dixieland Delight" became Alabama's ninth No. 1 song on Billboard magazine's Hot Country Singles chart.
