Singer Bill Phillips died Monday at his home in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, following a lengthy battle with diabetes. He was 74. Although he charted records from 1959 to 1979, Phillips is best known for showcasing the songwriting talent of young Dolly Parton via his 1966 recording of “Put It Off Until Tomorrow,” a tune Parton co-wrote with her uncle, Bill Owens. Parton also sang harmony on the record. It was Phillips’ highest-ranking single, peaking at No. 6 in Billboard.
