Read our privacy policy Country music singer and songwriter Jeff Carson, who scored hits with “Not On Your Love,” and “The Car” before becoming a police officer, has died in Tennessee, his publicist said. He then recorded the singles “Not On Your Love” and “The Car,” which won Carson his first Academy of Country Music award for video of the year. Carson had been in the studio with Buddy Hyatt recording an album to be released later this year with duets with Michael Ray, Darryl Worley and others, Westby said. On Twitter, the Franklin Police Department thanked Carson for his “life of service & song” and said Carson "changed everyone he met, all of us, for the better!” “It’s hard to believe he’s gone,” the department said on Twitter.
