Question
who originally wrote the song that gary allen sings called best i ever had?
Hi, Holly
"Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)" is a song recorded by the American alternative rock band Vertical Horizon on their 1999 debut album Everything You Want.[1] It was released as a single in 2001. It served as the band's fourth overall single, and their third consecutive Top Ten hit on the Billboard Adult Top 40 charts.
In 2005, country music singer Gary Allan recorded a cover version for his album Tough All Over. Allan's version, which was titled "Best I Ever Had" upon its release to radio, became his eighth Top Ten hit on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in mid-2005.
It was written by songwriter Matthew Scannell.

Expertise
I can usually locate song by artist, excerpts and even circa around when the song was released in country, rock and other genres. ****** PLEASE do not ask me about videos. I do not watch them.******** I've been singing since I started talking, singing in public since I was 7. Still at it at 56. I have an extensive repertoire as well as lots of music. I also actively research for other people, including local djs, music that no one else can find, especially being given just paraphrased lines of songs. I'm the one @ karaoke that usually gets asked, "Who did this song?" or "Do you know a song that goes" and if it's country, I usually can name the song and artist, sometimes give within a couple of years the year of release. I've got a lot of lyrics in my database, as well as friends with working musicians who do open mic jams who have even more extensive databases than I do.
