Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Strzelecki began playing country music in his teens. He wrote the novelty song "Long Tall Texan," which was a hit for The Beach Boys. He worked with Chet Atkins for many years, both in the studio and on tour. He was considered a primary member of the Nashville A-Team and worked with nearly every star to come out of Nashville in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

In 1987 he was nominated for Bassman of the Year at the 23rd Academy of Country Music Awards.

Strzelecki was struck by a car in Nashville on December 22 and died of his injuries on December 30, 2014.
