June 29 in Country Music History

In 2002, actess-singer Rosemary Clooney passed away. She wasn't a country singer by any stretch of the imagination, but her love of her native Kentucky has always led me to believe that she was a country girl at heart.

In 1985, Ronnie Milsap went to Number One with "She Keeps The Home Fires Burning".

In 1974, Mickey Gilley scored a Number One with "Room Full Of Roses".

In 1968, Tammy Wynette went to the top of the charts with "D-I-V-O-R-C-E".

In 1924, T. Tommy Cutrer, popular WSM announcer, was born in Osyka, Mississippi. In 1957, he was voted top dj in the nation. He also was a well received politician.
