From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Freddie Hart (b. Freddie Segrest, 1928, in Lochapka, Alabama) is an American country musician. He is best known for his hit song "Easy Loving" which won the Country Music Association Song of the Year award two years in a row, in 1971 and 1972.
Hart got an early break in his career when singer Carl Smith covered Hart's song "Loose Talk" in 1955. Other artists who recorded his songs included Patsy Cline ("Lovin' In Vain"), George Jones ("My Tears are Overdue") and Porter Wagoner ("Skid Row Joe").
