In 1993, Davey Allison, young Nascar great, died after a helicopter crash at Talladega, Alabama. I think his death did the same thing to Nascar that the death of Keith Whitley did to country music.
In 1985, Willie Nelson was Number One with "Forgiving You Was Easy".
In 1962, singer-songwriter Victoria Shaw was born in New York City.
In 1962, my favorite female artist, Rhonda Vincent, was born in Kirksville, Missouri. I think "You Can't Take It With You" is one of the best performances of one of the best songs in ANY genre. Click here for more about this amazing, and might I add very sweet, artist:

In 1956, Ed Sullivan signed an appearance contract with Colonel Tom Parker guaranteeing Elvis $50,000 for three appearances. I bet he got "All Shook Up" about that.
In 1937, Emmett Dalton passed away. For a true account of his story, including the twenty three gunshot wounds that he acquired at Coffeeville, Kansas, click here:

In 1924, Vernon Dalhart recorded "Wreck Of The Old 97".
In 1910, Clarence Ganus was born in Searles, Alabama. He is most famous for writing "Take A Cold Tater And Wait", and "Sleeping At The Foot Of The Bed". I have experienced the kind of life style referenced in these songs.
In 1908, Vernon Tim Spencer, Sons of the Pioneers, was born in Webb City, Missouri.
In 1895, Bradley Kincaid was born in Point Leavell, Kentucky. He was an old time singer and entertainer who employed a young banjo picker by the name of Marshall Jones, who became known as Grandpa, due to his grumpiness when awakened early. Kincaid also played on the Opry.
In 1882, Johnny Ringo, most famous for his days in Tombstone, Arizona during the "Gunfight At The OK Corral" era.
