In 1991, Alan Jackson joined the Grand Ole Opry, back when it still had the original red barn.
In 1986, Ronnie Milsap scored a Number One with "Happy, Happy Birthday Baby".
In 1975, Mickey Gilley climbed to the top of the charts with "Window Up Above".
In 1969, The Johnny Cash Show debuted from the Ryman Auditorium.
In 1966, Claudette Orbison, wife of Roy Orbison, was killed in a motorcycle accident.
In 1959, while at home in his house trailer near Knoxville, Tennessee, Don Gibson wrote "I Can't Stop Loving You" and "Oh Lonesome Me".
In 1956, singer-songwriter Larry Boone was born in Cooper City, Florida.
In 1934, Wynn Stewart was born in Missouri.
In 1917, Dean Martin was born. He was a very gifted actor, especially in Westerns, and was also a great vocalist. I especially love to hear him sing with Ricky Nelson in Rio Bravo. He did a credible job on his album of country favorites.
