Records in 1968, and had several hits with them, including "Lonely Women Make Good Lovers" and "Still Loving You." "Lonely Women Make Good Lovers" became his biggest country hit, hitting No. 4 on the country chart. (Steve Wariner, who had earlier been a member of Luman's band, later covered the song in 1984, and he, too, took it to No. 4 on the country charts.) Luman's other country hits included "Ain't Got Time To Be Unhappy," (1968) "Ballad of Two Brothers" (with Autry Inman, 1968), "When You Say Love" (1972), "Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye)" (1973), "Proud Of You Baby" (1975), and "The Pay Phone" (1977). Perhaps his most unusual song was a slow, soulful recitation of Johnny Cash's "I Still Miss Someone." Luman died of pneumonia in Nashville in late December 1978. He was 41 years old. After his death, Bear Family Records released several compilations of his songs, including More of the Rocker, Still Rockin''' and Carnival Rock. Legacy Luman is a member of both the Rockabilly Hall of Fame and the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame. His song “Lonely Women Make Good Lovers” was featured in the 1988 drama film Rain Man.
