“Live A Little” At No. 1

BMI toasted the team behind the Kenny Chesney No. 1 hit “Live a Little” at a party in its Music Row lobby on June 2. The single, Chesney’s twenty-second trip to the top of the charts, was co-written by Shane Minor and David Lee Murphy. BMI songwriter Minor has lived more than a little: He was a bull rider and Los Angeles police officer before his current career as a hit-maker. The recent Chesney smash marks his fifth chart-topper.
