Induction into the Nashville songwriters Hall of Fame is one of the nation’s highest songwriting achievements, since 1970, the Hall has enshrined some of the greatest writers ever to put words to music in Music City. In 2024, Pat Alger, Kent Blazy, and Gretchen Peters are coming from the Music City to the Holy City to assist Vantage Point Foundation in its mission to support our state’s post 9/11 veterans and spouses. Between them, they have written too many top 20 singles to list—but their most acclaimed tunes are noted below.
