August 27, 2007 — Montgomery Gentry celebrated the success of their No. 1 hit "Lucky Man" at two separate parties on Thursday, Dial-Global reports.
The afternoon kicked off at the ASCAP offices, where co-writer David Turnbull was honored. Before the festivities, Troy Gentry and Eddie Montgomery met with members of the media to talk about the tune, their third career No. 1. "This was our first to go No. 1 in back-to-back weeks," Troy noted. "So, this is very special for us. The song also means a lot to me personally."
Later in the day, Troy and Eddie headed over to Nashville's BMI building to celebrate with the song's other co-writer, David Lee. Eddie said he knew he had a winner from the moment he first heard the song. "Anytime you can get a No. 1 song, it's totally awesome. To me, I think it's more about the song that you believe in instead of someone telling you to sing a song or something like that. You sing it because you believe in it or felt it. When T brought the song to me I told him, 'Man, this song is just about me,' and when I found out who wrote it, man, I just freaked out. I was like, 'This is supposed to be.'"
