Kyle Young, CEO of the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, issued this statement:
Jeff Cook spent a lifetime in music, earning a license as a broadcast engineer before he was old enough to drive a car and working as an on-air radio personality while still in high school. He went on to fame, of course, with cousins Teddy Gentry and Randy Owen as a member of multi-platinum band Alabama, moving from barroom stages to sold-out arenas. Everything he did was rooted in his deep love of music, a love he shared with millions.
Alabama had amassed more than 41 No. 1 singles and 12 top 10 albums and is credited with selling more than 75 million records worldwide.
