Donald Allen Schlitz Jr. (August 29, 1952 – April 16, 2026) was an acclaimed American songwriter who penned more than twenty number-one hits on the country music charts. He was best known for writing “The Gambler” (performed by Kenny Rogers), as well as co-writing timeless classics like “Forever and Ever, Amen” (Randy Travis) and “When You Say Nothing at All” (recorded by Keith Whitley and later Alison Krauss & Union Station). Through his extraordinary songwriting, Schlitz earned two Grammy Awards and was honored four times as ASCAP Country Songwriter of the Year.
