Wilburn Steven Rice was born on April 19, 1939.

He learned to play guitar at age fourteen and was signed to his first recording contract at age 18.

In 1960, he had his first cut as a songwriter when Elvis Presley recorded "Girl Next Door Went A-Walking".

Rice began collaborating with songwriter, Jerry Foster, after meeting him while on tour.

The two wrote songs together and were signed to a songwriting contract through the assistance of Cowboy Jack Clement.

Some of the earliest songs they wrote were "Big Big City" and "Quarter Mile Rows" which were both recorded by singer-pianist Moon Mullican.

Their writing partnership has been hugely successful with many dozens of charting hits from the late 1960s to early 1980s.

Two of his cuts received Grammy Award nominations: "Back Side of Dallas" by Jeannie C. Riley and "Here Comes the Hurt Again" by Mickey Gilley.

He had also received 73 awards from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), the most received by any songwriter.

Rice has written songs for artists such as Johnny PayCheck, Reba McEntire, Lynn Anderson, Charley Pride and Jerry Lee Lewis, and he has more awards from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers than any other songwriter.

Rice had also been nominated for two Grammy Awards.

Five as a solo artist in 1971–1972 and one as a duet with then-labelmate Lois Johnson titled "All the Love We Threw Away" in 1977.

His first Capitol release, "Travelin' Minstrel Man", peaked at number 33 on Hot Country Songs in 1971.
