Today in Country Music

In 1993, Randy Travis was at Number One with my favorite Randy Travis cut, "Look Heart, No Hands". Now that's country.

In 1990, Clint Black was at Number One with "Nobody's Home".

In 1976, Waylon and Willie were at Number One with "Good Hearted Woman".

If you like tear jerkers or recitations, Red Sovine was number one with "Giddyup Go" in 1966.

For all of you Buck Owens fans, Buck was at the top in 1963 with "Love's Gonna Live Here".

If you call on this editor's cell phone, the ringtone is the song by Jimmy Dean that was number one on this date in 1962. Guess what it is.

And, finally, in 1960, Marty Robbins was still number one with "El Paso".

I under stand that Flatt and Scruggs recorded "Cryin' My Heart Out Over You" on this date in 1959 and that Ricky Skaggs debuted on the charts on this date in 1982 with the same song.

Opry great, and singer of that great anthem, "Rednecks, White Socks, and Blue Ribbon Beer", and also songwriter of "Act Naturally", Johnny Russell was born on this date in 1940. I can still see him in his yellow shirt at the Opry asking the audience "Can you see me now?"
