Country singer Stewart, known for "Actin' Single" hit, dies (from The Associated Press)
FORT PIERCE, Fla. -- Country music singer Gary Stewart, who gained some popularity in the 1970swith his true-to-form honky tonk style, died in Fort Pierce. He was 58. Stewart died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to police. His wife of 43 years died last month and he was last seen by relatives on Sunday. His body was found in his home Tuesday. Police do not expect foul play. A native of Letcher County, Kentucky, Stewart has been called a compelling songwriter and was a performer of guitar-driven Texas honky tonk. His last album was released this year, entitled "Live at Billy Bob's Texas." Some of his honky tonk hits include: "Drinkin' Thing," "Out of Hand" and "She's Actin' Single (I'm Drinkin' Doubles)," which hit No. 1 on the Billboard chart in 1975. Stewart described himself in one song title as a "flat natural-born good-timin' man."
